    Yup, but a lot of people hated it too. Apparently people think that all videos on Youtube should be professionaly edited and composed. People were upset and offended because I was drinking and eating stuff during the video.

    Unable to remove the custom exhaust because there isn't enough wiggle room to move it off the cats, has to be cut.

    Car is being sent to Competizione for removal and putting back on the stock exhaust.
    Also going to get a compression and leakdown test done. Will post back in a few weeks with updates.

    Rear bumper has to come off probably. A job that is much more difficult than it should be.

    I think they basically pieced it together from inside the engine bay :)

    I was thinking of loosening the cats but was too lazy to go that far.

    Bad news:

    Went out with the SO on a lovely day today, parked in a garage in Alexandria in an end space. Came back to a note left on my car apologizing for backing into it.

    Checked the damage and my car will need a new rear bumper. It appears the Challenge grill survived. I'll probably take it to Fwash to assess the damage.

    Needless to say, car is temporarily not for sale until this is resolved.

    Sorry to hear. At least they left a note. Here in CA we fully expect hit-and-run.

    What's the "renown upholstery shop nearby in Tysons Corner"? Is it Lim's?

    Thanks,
