Had to repair the exhaust on Babystiva today so I figured while I had her in the air, why not go ahead and install a muffler instead of the glasspack that has been on there since right after we got it. So I got a $25 AZ special. Sounds much smoother now. I'll probably put the glasspack onto chuck since he has no muffler at the moment, just a pipe straight out the back lol. But wifey will be happier not having her car droning so loudly on the highwayNo festiva for me ATM...

I pulled the speedo on Fajita and swapped the odometer numbers out with the spare speedo I had. Just popped it out with a small flathead screwdriver and popped the new one in. The needle shaft was no longer attached to the big gold thing the cable goes into.
