can't quit smiling

just finished install of AFE intake, motoblue 4" exhaust and removed silencer ring and I can't quit smiling. I purchased from RPM outlet and was very pleased with product, price and fast shipment. Easy install, my brother helped me and it took about 2 1/2 hours including removing the stock exhaust system. Having a sawzall cut a lot of time though, can't imagine cutting it all wih a hacksaw.

Cutting an exhaust with a hacksaw sucks. Trust me.

You bet it does, had my sawzaw along but the pack of cheapo blades from Harbor Frieght I had along didnt do a thing but wear out. The exhaust ended up cuttin the blades instead. Good thing I had the hacksaw along.

I try to cover all bases. I have a Sawzall to do most work but just acquired torches so I am looking for reasons to use that and also have a welder in case I burn too much up...

Had the same problem with POS sawzall blades from Home Depot- they woreout before the signpost was cut.

Also had lots of problems with Home Depot bolts snapping when leanin' down on them.

Too bad HD has to market cheap Chinese hardware...

Don't use "craftsman" blades. I couldn't even wear them out before the y snapped off. Same with the wood cutting blades. Milwaukee has been the best blade so far, or Dewalt seems to be a decent blade.
