It has been hot lately. Nice progress, I like the wiring harness, definitely cleans the engine bay up and lets your polished pieces stand out more

Wow congrats Grippy!!! I didn't know an engine bay could look that clean to tell you the truth. Mine still looks like a rat's nest and I thought before I saw your pictures that it was ok but I see there's still much room for improvement! Congrats on the progress so far!

the side exit was WAY to loud WOT for me, never did try turned down tips before the axle.

With 3 mufflers and rear exit dual exhaust the sound is perfect!

It was 32º on my way to work this morning. I'd be happy to be working in California right now.

What kind of battery are you running Grippy?

You might want to look into a CTEK battery charger Grip. They are simply amazing at bringing batteries back from the dead, so long as they dont have a ruptured cell.
