Hi,

no mine is shot, there's a hole in it.Our roads are salted here during winter
It was almost removed . It's just that I can't twist it 90 degree to finish the job.

Hi everybody, it's been a long time but I'm still alive ! I have to change my muffler as it's becoming a little bit noisy. I tried to remove it today but when it comes to turn it for the last few inches, I don't have enough room under the car. I had to reinstall it after a few tries. My question is:...
