Finally got my new exhaust put together, tore out the ****ty make shift exhaust from the previous owner.

3" ss midpipe, welded toyota o2 flange to it, then to my 3" cutout, finally a ypipe to 2.5 duals to my pro 1 axlebacks.

Love it!!! Now my exhaust Is all stainless and best part about it parts and labor to put the ENTIRE exhaust together was under $400 excluding the axle backs.

Pics tomorrow!!

O2 bung had to be welded at a slight angle due to fitment issues, but came out perfect

Almost forgot, the other day I had a spare key made at lexus, I read somewhere that they need your title and all sorts of proof of ownership to make you a key and can cost up to $100

Went In the parts department, Gave him my key, $40 later I was one happy guy lol. Car was purchased with just 1 key so I'm glad I was able to get my spare

Even got a free keychain!

How'd you end up getting those camber bolts off, did you end up having to cut them?

I ended up using air hammer. I almost forgot I have it. It breaks the stubborn rust with ease. It's faster it's less painful and less headache. The trick is let the hammer rest on the shaft of the bolt and squeeze the trigger. It took few seconds to break the rust free. You don't have to cut your bolt anymore.

Thank god for air tool right?
It took me two days of beating on my LCA's to get the ball joint loose. I imagine it would have been more like 2 minutes if I had had one of those. Glad you got it done.

oh I know I was so happy I felt like I just won a million bux. It's such a great feeling after so many hours of trying to get that rusty bolts out and it only took a minute or less than a minute using the air hammer unbelievable.
