Alright guys soooo I just picked up a catback from a dude off craigslist for $85.:hellyeah:LOL:rocks::D The thing looks really nice. He said he had it on for about 300 miles. But the only thing he could tell me about who made it was it came in a box. (he had a very thick accent)WTF...... anyway...

Well thank you for the advice. I definitely could use another job, I spent all my mine fixing other cars before I got my DSM. Anyway keep up the good work on the build! I hope to see even more progress :thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

Seriously nice build man! I must ask being in High School currently, HOW DID YOU AFFORD THIS BUILD? I mean I know it isn't like you bought everything at once but still.
