took a piece of a 95 mustang v6 exhaust pipe, a 2 1/8" id connector and a thrust turbo muffler and a "metal strap kit" and made myself a "custom" axle back exhaust. ahh forgot the three sheet metal screws holding it together until i get it welded. it would sound better if it was welded but overall i am pleased with it for now.

installed injectors, number 5 was stuck open and 3 and 1 were stuck partially open causing the car to run like poo, so i scored a set of trail blazer injectors at my favorite yard lol (1 buck a peice) it runs soo much smoother, better mpg, better performance

trail blazer O.o ... if you tune you'll get even better results out of them.

Yep you should probably get a tune on it! Those are 28lb injectors.

Removed, cleaned and tightened up bearings in my blower motor.
Re attached some loose door seal at the bottom of my drivers door jam.
Tried to glue down my front bumper cover where it bowed up under the headlight.
Detailed the crap out of the interior.
Cut off the black plastic that hangs down in front of the radiator and wheel wells. (6 inches have been missing for a while and it was driving me crazy)
Buffed some scratches.
Gave her some love...

Went to two different exhaust shops and was told my DynaMax VT muffler could not be installed on my car  so i picked up a flowmaster and had it installed. Now i have to send back the other muffler and get some of my money back after the restocking fee.

I drove it to work. I have started looking for new tires since driving on the original 1999 tires probably isn't a good idea any more, even though they only have 31K miles on them and look perfectly fine.

Btw, I know I f'd up trying to touch up the rear 1/4 but the surface rust was really bothering me. I plan to take it to a body shop and having it professionally done soon.
