Thanks Steve. That is really unfortunate.

In other, happier news, I forgot to tell you more about my exhaust. I painted the heat shield that goes below the battery box flat black. The finished look is incredible.

Nada. I'm done with my first week of school. I have a car show on Sunday.

Oh. I also have a smal exhaust leak at the first connection joint in the exhaust. I have already jb welded it, but the leak is back. Any tips on how best to fix this problem?

Sounds like you might need it welded. Things are to quiet without Brad and Steve. On the bright side I have hotel reservations for AMVIV-4. Don't want to miss the fun this time. Ken

I'm afraid youre probably right... I will talk with chad at Detroit tuned and Peter at m7 tomorrow and get their input.

You will enjoy AMVIV. I think i might save up and fly out this year.. Either that, or i will get a couple special mods just in time for the dragon... Not sure

OK NOW I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. IT IS AT THE END OF THE RESONATOR PIPE, ABOUT UNDER THE BACK SEAT AND HELD TOGETHER WITH A WIDE BAND CLAMP. ON MINE THERE IS A SLPIT IN ONE SIDE OF THE PIPE TO ALLOW EXPANSION AND ALLOW THE OTHER PIPE SO SLIP INSIDE. I SUGGEST YOU TRY AND PUSH THE PIPE FURTHER INSIDE THE OTHER, BECAUSE IF NOT IN FAR ENOUGH THERE WILL BE A SMALL GAP BETWEEN THE PIPE AND SLOT ALLOWWING IT TO LEAK. THEN RE TIGHTEN THE CLAMP.
HOPE THIS HELPS

The courtyard rooms were not bad inside but the hallways looked like the 70s. I would take a tower room if I attend this next year. I will not drive if I go next year. I will try to fly out there because I am not cool with driving 10 hours from Vacaville. It was worth going though, I had fun out there.
