Really excited

Look at what i picked up this afternoon for my 6637 install and CCV re-route.
I wish i could say my wife shared my same joys over a simple piece of stainless steel tubing. After eating dinner with it on the table she told me to go downstairs with it (secretly i think she's jealous )

Now all i need is the darn filter to come in!

Congrats Patrick. I don't blame you for having that on the table with you. Thats a great looking SS tube. I don't know why wilfe's don't understand this.

EDIT: I bet if that was a SS candle holder she would be having it on the table.

Women don't want men to appreciate things that are beautiful and shiny like that. It detracts from the attention you should be giving them. Or so I hear, I wouldn't know personally cause I would NEVER appreciate anything more than my truck, er, I mean my wife.

I always like to put an positive twist on all my mods, "Yea hunny we will get so much better gas mileage with this bad boy on performance mode" and "those 35's are a must for rough Atlanta roads. " Gauges and exhaust are a gimme , i mean we dont want to compromise the longevity of our new family vehicle! DUH... hahah
