If I remember correctly Kevin has the Trubendz Magnaflow muffler.
How's that working out for you Kevin? I was thinking of getting one here so I can go back to my stock look and get rid of the exhaust thats currently on the car.

Yess, its a trubendz magnaflow 2.5inch catback and its working great! I like it alot, but if you are NA you might want to get it resonated, its alittle loud at times.

IPP's Stage 2. When I first put them on I had over a 2" drop. Could barely get my jack out from under the car

Only finger that I could wedge between the fender and the tire.
Back to a more managble height for the roads I drive. 5/8" Drop front, 1 1/8" drop rear. Ground to fender 25 3/8" at center of arch
all around.

Anybody else make their own ramps cuz the car is too low to roll a jack under? That cracks me up.
I did. LOL!
Here's mine, Mopar Stage 2 CO's. 2 threads left on rear and .5" of threads left on fronts if I remember correctly:
Don't knock the rear ghetto bumper! I had the Razzi lip on it and kinda knocked it off when I hit the tire wall @ Nelson Ledges doing 60ish backwards haha. Also no flames right now. Took em off
