downpipe is a work of art damn it!!! I'll take a pic of it when I remove it to wrap it.


I got some pretty darn good progress going today! I was busting *** trying to get as much done as I could before I leave at 5am tomorrow morning. This thing will definitely be running next week when I return!!

Just enough room to remove/install with the rad in.
