Hey Mike how much would you charge me to re-hang my exhaust in the rear?

It pulled loose from the straps.

See, if you wouldnt have been cheap in the first go around, you wouldn't have any ground clearance issues and hanger problems you have.

Im too expensive to employ on those duals.

My hangers are a Franklin.

It had nothing to do with being cheap, I was inpatient and didn't want to wait another week. ( my Fault)

Ground clearance issue is due to the cheap kit. Oh well ( You live and learn)

I'am going to get another set done in a month or so, So will your employment be available to do this? Or should I just go some where else?

1st off, this is freaking hilarious! I don't think I've ever started a thread that got so much attention.

2nd, if y'all thought I was calling people out b/c I think I'm the **** with my little 433hp, you're wrong...I'm just proud that I got my car finished and that it runs well, etc. My apologies if I came across that way.

3rd, I'm happy with my setup and really like how the car feels...isn't that the important thing?

4th, I like A/C in the summer time down here, don't you guys?...go STS! Yes, there are other kits that allow for A/C, but I'm guessing it's not as easy to get around as what I did .

5th, I have another couple PSI to go and once I wrap the exhaust, lag will not be an issue. It's not that bad now...I can get over it b/c once the boost kicks in, it kicks in hard and the pull is amazing!

6th, I'm as fast as my brother's 03 Cobra @ 14psi and he's making 25 more HP and 35 more torque than me.

7th, I'm not going to drive somewhere to just race someone unless it's at the track. In my original post, I just mentioned that if you and I are out & about...if you see me, I'll race...(obviously considering certain circumstances).

8th, I spent a lot less than you probably think I did. I'm under $5k as of now...it pays to shop around!

9th, stock internals other than valve springs...all the stuff I have is in my sig.

This thread reminds me of this Discovery documentary where a pack of hyenas stumbled across an injured baby gazelle.
