everyones so quiet this weekend.
was in the parking garage at the airport going up the really tight circular ramps that connect the levels, since my sirius cant get signal through concrete it was really quiet, except for a squeal coming from the front. gonna get it checked out this week. Dont need anything breaking on my thousand mile drive, I've had enough bad luck on my trips.

I got new springs, new tires, new cv joints, finally cleaned the EGR valves, and installed my new JVC CD player. Hopefully i can get the headers and the exhaust soon. O yea i heard that if u get headers and exhaust that its better to put the headers on first than the exhaust. Is that true?? And why if it is true??

It really makes no difference. In terms of installation procedure if you are replacing ALL of your exhaust it is best to start the isntall at the head and work your way back bolting sections on to make sure the fitment is good all the way back.

o ok, thanks cuz the guy at the exhaust place told me to put the headers on first than go get the exhaust done but thats probably cuz they dont install headers there. ok so i already have my headers and have been waiting to get enough $ to get the exhaust but if i want to i could just put the headers on with the stock exhaust??

no, he initiated the race at this light and at the next light he pulled up next to me and asked what chip i was running. i started laughin. he was shootin all his carbon out of his exhaust too, it was great
EDIT: i say it was a 250, it may have been a 150 but it was lifted so I thought it was a 250. I'm not sure. I never had to look at the butt of his truck
