Exhaust
Exhaust Update:
I have painted the tailpipe with Rustoleum high temp flat black- the muffler section will come next. Since I was planning on putting the muffler on later this week, I decided to give it a shot and drill some holes in my original muffler. I drilled 7 holes in the front flat piece of it and two on the bottom. It sounds awesome!!! Not ricey at all. The whistle went away too! It sounds loud with the windows rolled down and with the windows rolled up, I can barely hear it and there is no drone. I may just leave it like this for a while.

I drilled 2 more holes in the front of the muffler and a quarter- sized hole in the bottom. It's a little better now. I am going to try and make a video tomorrow.

Got the valve covers put back together. Just need to put the intake and random stuff back on. My new stereo and speakers came in today! I will be putting those in this week.
Much Cleaner Now

Finished up the engine Thursday night and did the stereo this morning.
Front Speakers are Polk (6.5")
Kenwood head
Kenwood rears (5.25")
Each door has a piece or 2 of sound deadening in them. Stereo sounds great!
The engine runs soooooo much better now. It takes about half as long to start now and it idles quieter and smoother.

A few weeks ago I got my dad's used 4th gen front floormats.
The $5 a piece Wal-Mart rears fit good. They look the same as the $10 Advance Auto Parts mats.
