Drove it down some dirt roads in North Creek/Schroon. I swear I can’t keep a car clean for more than a day or two. ---

Fixed three. THREE! Exhaust leaks, and a crooked, fucked up mounting of the catback piping over the rear section. Half-ass exhaust alignment courtesy of Synapse Turbo. Warped flanges courtesy of excessive EGT, probably from when my intercooler pump wasn’t working for god knows how many miles (20,000+). I must say, Synapse’s welds are top notch but if they didn’t rush through everything else I’d be a much happier customer, especially considering that shit wasn’t cheap by any means. Oh well, can’t get them all 100%. What’s funny is I never even noticed this defect in workmanship until I personally had my car on a lift and was able to inspect every little section of the exhaust system myself. Albany Speed Shop, once again, did one hell of a job at fixing this car (for GOOD this time) and making it right. Now don’t get the wrong idea and put words into my mouth (I’m not knocking Synapse), as Synapse really does do top-notch work, and Morgan and his employees are great people, but the guys doing the fab work could have (at the very least) done a little better with the minor details. ---
