Spotted in Grapevine getting exhaust. Anyone here? 
(Note: guy just started welding when I took shot, you can see the arc, lower right)
I was out at lunch & as I was passing by, I saw this up on the lift. At a very brief glance, I saw the dual exhaust & dual ribs in the bumper. I ate 1 block away & it was still there when I was done, so I stopped in & talked with the shop guys about what they were doing.
Owner wasn't there, but the shop said: "long tube headers (wrapped), high flow cats, Magnaflow catback. They called the Magnaflow a PITA to get lined up & not hit things (sway bar mounts, diff, had to weld new hangers for muffs).
Asked what it would take to do a muffler delete with straight pipe to tips: $250ish.

You could also do a hogzaust... Easier on other cars.
but have them put on 2 bolt flanges on teh joins right before the muffler. And then put washer in between those flanges...

Hey! That was me. I wanted to weld the x pipe up tithe cats and figured I'd just let a shop take care of it. They are some good guys there! We probably just missed each other. I was surprised how much they said it took to line everything up.

Did someone drop you off? You walk away for lunch? I ate next door at Old West Cafe. Fantastic food. Just had some leftovers . . . from when I ate there yesterday!

Sorry I missed you again! We need to catch up with one another sometime. I saw another V on the lift at the exhaust shop last week when I was heading to Old West Cafe.

I think damn near 90% of all the V1's out there must be in Texas. I see them all the time in the Houston area. Even have another SG one like mine living about a mile away... V2's are more rare in this area than V1's from what I've seen.

Stalkers, all of you...
What kind of weirdo-freak goes around stalking other V's?
Let alone taking pictures of them...
What the hell is wrong with you people?
So I was at Best Buy the other day...
