It’s time. The Exocet exhaust has been bouncing around on a couple of ugly rubber hangers and rattling on the frame for too long. I don’t weld and don’t want to invest in a welder right now so I made an appointment. I’m not really sure how to make sure I’m not getting ripped off. That’s my biggest concern. It’s easy to see a custom car come in and get money signs in your eyes.
In unrelated news, I got a voicemail from my friend Edrex the other day. Google voice hilariously translates his name to “Durex”, like the condom.

It didn’t change his name to durex. It is saying he is a durex.

Hah, well to be pedantic about it, it changes his name to “a Durex”.

There's sex, and then there's Edrex.

Every time I take something in to an exhaust shop I have to finish the project at home. That gives me an expensive head start. Not once have I received what what I paid for. It’s close enough to clean up with my tools.

I took my truck in for an exhaust manifold gasket replacement. The bolts were stuck and I was afraid to break them off. The shop charged me $300 to change the gasket. It still leaked. I had to put a new gasket in myself. Basically I paid $300 for them to loosen the bolts.
The other times it was just crappy welds and hanger placements. Now I just expect to clean up after the mechanics or just do it myself.

Yeah, my problem is that I don’t really care that much about this car and the process for changing the timing chain is a 2 person 10 hour job if I’m lucky. The how-to is one of those articles that starts with “acquire beer, you will need it”.
