Got some steal wool and a metal lubricant and also a Headlight restoration kit

All installed and got dam it looks good.

The sound quality was not up to my liking, I was expecting more throathy sound but its quieter then not having the mufflers installed. I kinda love it and hate it, lol.

Can you post a sound clip of those mufflers? I'd love to hear how they sound. And do you notice any drone or crackling?
