We have had 3 days of solid rain since Sunday. My yard as soaked. But tonight I was able to go out and get the exhaust tacked up and slightly modified. I got rid of the big 3 bolt bracket. But to get all that pipe to fit in there correctly I had to do some pounding and bending. My welding skills tonight really sucked. I burnt through once and yes, it was my damn fault. I also measured for the new location for the transmission control computer. From the big multi-connector on the front of the transaxle it is 36" to the TCU / From the shifter to the TCU is 43" / TEC3 to TCU 6". I just got an email from James at Powertrain Control Solutions. He is going to either deliver the TCU this weekend to me in person, or post it out on Monday. This is cool. Powertrain Control Solutions just put live their new updated website. It is much more informative. They also some really cool new products! |

1 2x 2.50" exit pipes. I name thee.... RSe Bazooka exhaust. |
 |
2 The pipes are just tack welded in for now. I'll make mounts that will hold this baby up later. |
 |
3 It looks really cool in person. |
 |
4 A look from underneath. |

 |
6 Later I will weld a bar between the two exit pipes to hold them in place. |
 |
7 I really need to take a welding class. But here is brainiacville of the University of Virginia, trades classes are just not available. But if I want to be a poet there are 300 different classes! |
 |
8 All the pipes line up. I'll paint them high heat gloss black. I love glossy black pipes. |
 |
9 Once the car is painted and the final bodywork is complete I will install the chrome tips. |
 |
My 2x4 hood prop rod. |

11 The Bazookas from hell! |
