When's the next meeting? There's some folks near Charlotte talking about getting together next month, I think. Check out the "North Carolina anyone" thread, if you haven't yet.

mine is!!! :P: but i need a whole new exhaust system... heh... oh well

the guy who had it before me had the cat replaced at a redneck gas station type deal and bubba decided to put on a no name cat and do some custom piping from the headers..... he eliminated the pre-cat, put on the no name cat which probably died in a matter of days, and while he was at it decided to weld the WHOLE EXHAUST SYSTEM TOGETHER!! what a ****.... now i have to replace the entire exhaust system just to get a new cat on there to pass emissions! oh well.... now i will have a full performance exhaust.... darn... heheeh

Well, in the redneck's defense, most exhaust shops DO weld the whole system. It's faster and it's easier to make it leak-free. I've been there, I know. Yeah, it's harder to do something with at home, but it's completetly trouble-free.

Man, George, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope everything's okay man. It's been awhile since we've talked. I was in West Virginia over the entire thanksgiving break. I will keep you and your family in my prayers man, at least your grandfather is not stuck on this earth suffering anymore. I know these past few weeks have been tough on you man, just be strong, God will take care of you.
