    Really?? I think I will do a side by side photo of the stock pipe vs the Courtenay Sport one when I replace it.

    Nice I will do this myself, did you just use a razor and clean the left over glue off? I didn't know it was painted under there, well I wasn't certain.

    Thanks I will get onto this tonight for sure!

    On another note today I went down to Ashmore Exhaust for a rear 2.5" muffler delete, sounds good, deep + doesn't drone and I painted my tow ball black again yesterday (only because I can't get the bastard off).

    Had fun trying to pull some coolant pipes off and the radiator out today. Progress is slow, but mostly because I spend time trying to figure out A) what needs to come out, B) how it is fixed in and C) what else is in the way and how to get that out.

    I also got fed up with those stupid factory hose clamps and cut a few of the bigger ones in half with a dremel because I wasn't having much success using pliers.

    wd40 works best to get rid of the glue residue

    That's the one, they're great on price as long as you're friendly and don't talk crap haha, ask for Wayne if you go down.

    To remove my old muffler, shape the new pipe, paint it black and make some mounts + fitting it only cost me $119.00
