i don't know if i can go anywhere far. i checked the temp of my exhaust the other day after about 1.5 hrs of driving at 60mph, and it was around 428F! That seems a little hight to me so i think that may mean my exhaust it crapping out. i guess after i swap in my old t-case, new headers & a cat will be on order to expell that hot gas better

yeah i couldn't believe it was that hot, but those infared guns don't lie (i don't think...?)

i already got an aftermarket muff on there (thanks for the offer though), but i think my headers & cat are crapping out. so that's what i think i need to change next.

yeah i wont have time to do it myself, so im gonna see how much the shop is gonna charge me to put on a new exhaust (minus the muff), then see if it is worth it to have them do it, or just do it myself
