haha yea i know that , but it wouldnt catch on fire also i used flame retardent spray on them... anyways no way could i have done this exhaust my self. I took it too the shop after i tryed and they said that they had to use a flameflower to get my stock one off, i even watched them. It was rusted right through as well. but i put on the g medalion and took it against a new mustang v6. I use to be able to keep up with them, then i actually noticed more power mid-top end and beat it bye about 5 cars or so. A very nice improvement.Next modz are DC header and a zex kit with heavy duty clutch and flywheel bye end of christmas, shooting for high 14's.
