Quality Muffler and Brake is on the corner of 17th and Eureka in Wyandotte. Don't go to that place, Top Value I think, at Trenton and Eureka or the one about a block West on Eureka, Muffler Man cause they really suck!

Well, I was cleaning out the rafters in my garage and I found some neat things. I found a brand new Minnie Mouse lamp that I gave to my cousin. Was not even open. A few brand new x-mas decorations. And a Nintendo 64...LMAO...WTF was that doing up there? Oh, and enough wood to build a new garage! YIKES! But my parents are doing all the painting...cause I can not paint too well with a brush and roller. But it is getting there. Can't wait to get in. Talk to you all later.

just a heads up for anyone with nothing to do this friday the april the 26th. some car crews are meeting up at cj barrymore. not sure who is organizing it though. anyways they're thinking of making it a meetup spot on the weekends. plus hall rd isnt that bad for creeping. nice pavement, long straights, and lots of michigan u's.

Well lucky me found 2 bucks in the parking lot of MJR Cinema last night so I will put that towards my rim/wheel fund. Then I took out this huge loan and used some kids license and S.S. card so he will get the bill. [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG] Sorry you lost the wallet dude. I know it is a pain.

I would not recommend the custom pipe thing just cause what will you do for a resonator? You will have to use the stock one then. Plus you will not get stainless pipe you will get pipe that will rust in a week and have holes in a year. Just my 2 cents. or 2 bucks i mean

Yeah, if your not going with a full system then just have the muffler put on. The muffler shop will not give tou mandral bent piping either on top of keeping your stock silencer. IF all you are looking for are looks and maybe a little sound and want to save money, I would just go buy one of those universal chrome mufflers in the Autozone sport compact section. Cause just adding a muffler will give you very little if any performance gain. Then you will still have money left over for tints and SRI!

Stylin, did you join XCEED? I see a Stylin2k1 signed on right now.

im lookin more for show than go.. but i rather have a name brand muffler behind me. n i can get it fairly cheap. and i called before just for installation and he told me 50bucks installation. so that means i spend 170 on my exhaust and leaving me about 80bucks or so.


bobby: do you have quality brake & muffler? i had their business card in my wallet, but that seems to be gone

Anyone going to Redline meet this Friday? Not sure if I am going yet or not. I have a dumpster coming for the weekend and I have a lot of crap to throw in it so I might be tired. But I kind of want to go and get a xceedspeed shirt.

Well, incase I do not go this is how I went last time. Telegraph to 12 mile to woodward turn right then murray's is on the left about a mile down. I always stop at the 50's McDonalds first so if there are a lot of cars there like last week then i might just stay there cause my buddy and his wife bring there cars to that show and I always end up b.s.ing all night. But this is all IF i go.

Not really sure how long it took us. I had my buddy in the car so we kind of just turned on the radio and took it slow. I would say maybe 40 minutes.
