Update, the back end is finally hooked up. He is working on the other end. We'll see if we need that hammer, Max. Thanks

Oh, thought I'd mention. My husband is a dear. He has worked on cars all is life. THIS project has been a killer. I think mostly because he is 70 years old. He pride won't let him take my Xfire to a fixit place. You know what I mean? He is determined to do this himself. I can only help so much...like holding up the OEM exhaust while he tirelessly pried off those rubber rings, holding the flashlight..giving him all the support I can.

I'll come back to finally thank Max when this whole thing is finally behind us and I have this marvelous sound. I saId to my husband "what if I wanted the OEM put back"? The looked nearly killed me until I saId "KIDDING!"

Later!
