Default Recieved and Installed my Hooker Catback today

I ordered my Hooker catback from Thunder Racing on the 9th. It was supposed to arrive on the 14th, but UPS goofed up my address, so it was delivered to my Dad's office today (16th). Nonetheless very speedy, and a great deal at 260 bucks!

Soon after I wedged the gigantic box in the WS6 and headed over to my buddy's shop. At 6 we started working on it and completely finished the install and test drive at 9:30/10. (of course there was a pizza break and a test drive of his new race car mixed in) The hardest part of the install was taking out the old catback. It was a PITA. I had to basically unbolt the whole rearend of the car and it still just barely slid out. From there the install was pretty easy, final part of lining up the tips took a bit of time. But it looks PERFECT now.

This thing sounds like a lion now, and every person I passed on mainstreet stared at us going by. The mustang gang even turned around . Only thing is that my SES light came on. After I used my friends scanner and took codes from the car, and I believe it said Air Pump Injector malfunction or the like. I deleted it and it did not come back. The beast is going in a local car show tomorrow and hopefully she'll win a few prizes Sorry for it being a mile long

The TA won first place in the car show today in the domestic class A bunch of people were impressed with he exhaust and I got a ton of compliments. Everyone was burning out when they were leaving and this Red civic SI kept going around and doing smokeshows. On his 4th one he blew his clutch and I found a brake shim piece on the ground I couldn't help but laugh, the guy owns a local car audio place in town and he thinks his turbo civic is nasty. That was so classic
