Bad part of my day:

Took the day off to install my Buddy Club exhaust (thanks again to http://www.lineupgarage.com). Was all psych'ed up until I jacked up the car to remove the stock exhaust. The bolts that connect the exhaust pipe to the cat are rusted together. Tried adding some WD40 and rust remover.... stripped both bolts... Tried removing the cat from the downpipe. No movement and I didn't want to risk stripping those bolts as well. Sat there in disappointment and tried to think things over. Gonna take it to a muffler shop to see if they can get the piping off.

Good part of my day:

Was browsing through the site here to see if I can find a good deal on cat converters. Went to http://www.pdm-racing.com and purchased a Magnaflow High-Flow Cat for $125. Had some dinner with gf and came home to a nice package at my door. Got my tension bars in all it's awesomeness (thanks SPL Parts!) FINALLY! I CAN ALIGN MY CAR!

Also, got a kickass deal from SBC. DSL for $26/mo and DISH network for $34/mo for as long I stick with SBC. *me sits in front of TV watching SPEED channel*

Yeah, exhaust bolts suck. Get used to it. =\

And I hate to say it but that isn't a great price on the cat. Thumbs up on the TC rods.

I'm still keeping the exhaust I bought, if that is what your getting at ^^. I'm talking the car into a muffler shop so they can cut/pop/drill the bolts off the cat and put new ones in, so I can ahead with the swap.

Yup they sure do. I'll be ordering the Sparco seat bracket from them so I can finally get my seat put in. Ryan is also a cool guy to if you get to meet him.
