Steve,

He's got almost everything done. The new tranny is taking some time but it's working with the AEM. It's been gone over a year now. I don't even remember what it looks like anymore

Hey Shane, what kind of foam did you use to seal the port in the rear deck?

Thank you! Those are conveniently close the size of my tool box drawers, but they're a fraction of the price compared to foam for lining tool boxes.

what are you going to do with the empty exhaust hole? i wish there was a company that made plugs for them so all us single guys wouldn't have to pay an arm and a leg for that clean single look lol

I went back to dual exhaust like I already had on the car. The pic was with only one side almost done. My old exhaust wasn't stainless and had begun to rust really bad. Damn my car needs a bath !!

Question though. It all looks heavy. Have you noticed the weight of it all while driving?
I'm not for or against it, personal preference however I respect well built and thought out work.

Once it gets back then off to get bumper cover painted and new stereo upgrades. Never ending.

I was on there site yesterday after going through this thread and didn't even notice. I saw so much stuff on cars I don't own that I figured they didn't work on 2J's anymore.
