Aren't these projects usually a heavy metal guy in Finland? I guess those are usually 800 hp 740 wagons with a big pipe out the hood...

Very impressive and thorough work all around. Fun to read.

Did you travel to 3025 AD to get those parts? Some of those are very well machined and painted.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link

It's such a nice feeling to bolt together exhaust with brand new copper....ahh...

I had a muffler guy thank me for bringing new hardware so he didn't have to fight it.
