Got:

Double 5mm LED assemblies soldered into the standard globe holders (6 in all with 2 leds each) - looks awesome!
Installed the Angel eye headlights and lower lights - need to upgrade to HIDs +50% philips bulbs arent that bright
Installed LED globes into the LED tailights - damn those are bright!
Replaced a torn CV boot from an ignorant towie that decided to hook my CV - grrrr
Solved my fuel pump issue (used a holden commodore fuel pump with fuel return)
Cleaned out my fuel tank
Flushed the fuel lines

Busy day lol

Oh, and you've had no issue running the exhaust through the leaf pack like that? I guess now that I think of it, you would most likely hit bump stops before you ever hit the exhaust.

Edit again: I looked at the top pics and you are a long way off from the leaf springs. That's good because I'm leaning alot towards angles that straight outs.
if you like my tip http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-690033/
This tip made my truck louder and gives it a realy deep tone.

Every time I go off roading I have at least 5 people ask "what moter do you have in there?" When I tell them its the 4.3 they say "what do you have for an exhuast?" and I proceed to tell them its just no pre-cat and no muffler. Than they say "well it sounds damn good"

And originaly wanted duals but to big of a PITA on 2 doors.

Thanks for that link! I was going to ask what length it is. I think I'll go for 3.5" tips. The exhaust shop should be able to work the pipe over to the driver side. I'm hoping with a ZR2 there should be a bit more room for them to work with. From when I've looked, it seems like there should be plenty of room.

I'm partial to slash cut tips, but those straight cuts really look good with how it exits.

lets just say i tore the Jetta a new one while putting it on the trailer!



why?.............siezed rear drums. no problem, drag it out to the street with the Blazer, right? but of course, it doesn't quite line up with my trailer.............so i go around to the back of it, triple loop my recovery strap trough the factory recovery point on the Jetta, and proceeded to drag it back a few feet to straighten it out.


well....................i ended up lifting the *** of the Jetta about 2 feet in the air-and ripped out the whole rear frame rail where said recovery hook is-WAS-mounted.

so i guess i'm gonna be removing my (almost) BN Winter tires, and making a trip to the recyclers.


so i guess you can say i destroyed an Import with my Blazer today!
