I've since moved to Corsa catback and haven't had the issues (knock on wood).

Thats weird, wonder if thats the issue im having. though the catback is currently a straight through design... weird.

Not sure, I even started running cutouts on the OEM catback and that helped. But as soon as I would close them, my first WOT pull would typically blow them off.

That could explain why the stock catback had those pins in it and the connectors had little arm thingys so they wouldn't move around. If it happens again I may have to look into 3" systems... Oh well. Lol

I've been inspired by you guys and blacked out the bowties. Back one could probably be resprayed but the front came out nearly perfect. Looks good on white!

Edit: leak appeared again on my way to work. I have absolutely no idea what could be causing it.

Blacked out bowties are the way to go. You may just have to get your exhaust welded.

Yeah was trying to avoid that but I won't be doing headers anytime soon so it may be the only option. Gonna take it to a shop after work.

Work is killing me. I'm wearing out on this 6 and 7 days a week BS. No end in sight. Mad at myself because I broke plans with someone that I made weeks ago, all because of a job that doesn't care about me anyway.

I dunno man. One of those days. I'm so damn frustrated I can't concentrate.

I understand the 6-7 days a week of work, up until last month I was working 60-70hours every week for a company that doesn't give a crap about employees, also why I am going to be changing jobs in April(plus new job pays better) Sometimes plans have to get broken, and the person will understand(if they don't then they are not very mature) best advice I can give is to start looking around at other job opportunities, I'm always looking at new job opportunities.

I'm writing a resume today and shopping around. I used to really like my job but lately it makes me miserable. I wish I was more qualified. Problem is I feel like I've moved up in this company to a point where leaving is gonna knock me downward a little and I will have to start back over somewhere. All I have is a HS DipLoma and a lot of experience at one job and a super stable work history to promote myself.

What kind of work do you? What kind of work/career do you want to be doing?

I'm at the point where I'm working in a career field that I don't want to be doing, but I'm getting to the point where I'm making too much money to back peddle into a new career where I would start out at the same as what I currently am getting.

I have a HS Diploma and Various Certifications for many different things. My problem is that the career field I want to be in has little for work around my location, and moving away is simply out of the question for me at this time.

If you are not in the career field that you want to be in, now is the time to make the transition before you feel like it will be too late.
