Just thought it was pretty funny. I took my car to the shop yesterday and the mechanic pointed out several disturbing things. First, the 02 sensor (that I just installed with my headers) was resting up against the flex-pipe and pretty well melted. Second, my engine was completely bone dry of oil... I guess thats what happens when you got 6000 miles w/o an oil change. Finally, he also let me know that the welds on my muffler were completely broken. So, I check it, and damn... he's right.

So, long story short, I pulled off the muffler today (a 20lb muffler coming off the back-end of my car at 60mph would be a very bad thing). And now my car is LOUD AS PISS. I mean, before it was loud, but now... Christ. I don't think that 140dB is that much of an exaderation.

Tomorrow I am going to order a new exhaust and hopefully I can get it before this time next week. I will have install pictures, in case anyone was curious.
