No... he paid for that exhaust work.
In his defense, the place was reccomended to him by someone, but apparently the "good" exhaust guy was out that day, so they let a 5 year old who's Ritalin perscription ran out weld up his exhaust.

LMAO, I think Jaws (even with no experience) would have had better luck with that weld. Any leaks? Well, it's not like it would matter.........it's Jaws.

wow...

memories..

I had really crappy luck with this car... from odd pieces in the tranny blowing up, to known brand products giving out, fuel lines leaking in the middle of the desert at 3am, exhaust falling out on the freeway, melting plugs due to a ghey zex kit, forgetting to set the timing,...
real sh!tty luck...

wow....

Im glad to say everything is running smoothly now.. and the engine has NEVER looked as good as it does now.

Unfortunately the exhaust is still on the car... I dont want to get rid of my non fart can magnaflow muffler or my glass pack. I love how the car sounds. So eventually ill end up welding my own... Plus i made a promise to family and friends to severely cut down on spending on the car.... there are other things more important in this world... like halo and stuff...

This is the most recent pic of the car though...


This car has been nothing but a pain in the a$$...

But i must admit.. its been worth it.
