Insert clever tagline here

So the original exhaust system I had on my first car looked a little bent when I tried to bolt it up to the new car. I originally didn’t want to run it like that, so I tried ordering a 3″ turn down tip for the center section of the system I already have.

I bolted it up and mocked up what I was going to use as a hanger, built from the hardware section at the Home Depot.

After spending some time under the car, I came to the conclusion that this would not work as easily as planned. The toggle bolts I bought were way too big, so I would need to drill approx 1″ holes in the frame rail of the car. I tried a couple other ideas, but ultimately I ended up bolting the side exit rear section to the car again. On second thought, it doesn’t fit too bad and it still looks pretty nice.

Drove the car to work this morning. It did pretty well on the side streets, I’ve put about 15 miles on the clock since the rebuild. I’m still getting a bit of a hanging idle, so that will need to be sorted out.
