Pulled the exhaust today, thing sounds like a harley untill you get her wide open then it sounds like a nascar lol gonna run a short straight pipe for now just to divert the exhaust out just past the passenger door, later on im going to have dual exhaust in a X pipe form with twin Flowmaster 40's on it

Ah, the old turbine wheels! Still look good on just about anything!

Say, those doors look pretty sweet!

I recently upholstered the doors on my Subaru with this product from Gary's Upholstery.

I had great luck with it, and great customer service.
