Yeah I thought I spied a Magnaflow. I'd like to do a Magnaflow muffler on my M. I've got a FM Super40 waiting to go on my XJ right now.

Why is this a good thing to do?

What improvement results from having the electric fan?

Why did you need another new radiator so soon?

Did it leak?

If it leaked - from where?

Did you install a new radiator cap with both new radiators ?

Today I played twister with myself in the back seat to take my door panel off to open my door that was frozen up! No wonder why everyone is always complaining about sitting back there. Good thing I don't sit back there.
