well...Jerry recorded over the video he took of its idle...
but he got me coming back from the first drive down the MSS test track and then heading out to Buster's shop for the exhaust work...

decided to go with a v-band clamped intermediate pipe instead of a cut-out...alot cleaner look...just as easy, if not easier to open up the exhaust...
3" header collector to 3" y-pipe, over crossmember (I can drop my tranny pan now) to 3.5" collector (for future upgrades) then 3.5" reduced to current 3" intermediate...
finished work:

sounds really good...can't wait to get it tuned in when Jerry gets back from basking in the FL sun...or is that baking?
drove it home and to work tonight and back...

tranny seems fine...of course I haven't romped on it either...
just finished up the first oil change...oil looked good...
very slight glimmer of metal in oil and maybe a 1/16th of an inch of the same collected on the magnetic tip of the drain plug...
so far no smoke, no blow by from the vent on driver side vc and the passenger side vc filter didn't seem oily either...
no knocking or strange noises...
o2's are in and plugged up...still running open loop til Jerry gets back...
gonna go pick up some anti-seize tonight and install the WB sensor...and change the fuel filter as well...it's due...
