I like the overall sound. I have a whistling sort of raspy sound. I think it is coming from around the donut gasket. I had some problems getting it over the end of the pipe. Also gonna try using the factory springs on those bolts because the BHR ones are shorter and may be maxed out. Something doesn't sound totally right. Oh well. Taking it apart in the morning.

Also, I pulled my rear bumper off and cut out the fake mesh in favor of some real stuff. It was surprisingly easy. Only an hour out of my day.

It looks great except I don't like the faded red bit sticking down for the tow hook. I may take the bumper back off and paint it black.

Adam, did you get your vacuum issue worked out? I stumbled across the trouble shooting thread and it looked promising.

Yea I got it figured out. I switched a vacuum line when I put it all back together. So it was the electrical contacts but i put it back together wrong so i was getting no vacuum.

Cole I understand what you mean. What do you think about meeting at hooters to eat before the game? We can all show up and park together then.

Glad you got it worked out. The most simple answer is usually the right one. Little stuff like that has gotten me a couple of times over the years.

I was gonna suggest going to The Tilted Kilt. I went to the one in St. Charles on Tuesday before a concert and the uniforms were amazing. Turns out that is the only one left in the area. The one in Arnold closed. Hooters it is.

I'm in for that. I don't care either way, I'm just getting info to pass on to the friends. A sweet would be pretty tight though! That would trump a Hooter's meet for sure. lol

Hey guys so for this meet on the 30th im thinking of making a list of all things we will need and have people let me know what they will bring. Ill mark things off as we go. For some of the more expensive things ill see if a few people would want to throw in for stuff. Would whoever is coming from the 8club pitch in for a main thing like burgers, hot dogs or brats or just let me know if you could all bring one of those things. I reserved the pavillion and that was 25 but im gonna get charchol also.

Let me know what you guys want to do or if you have a better idea for how to do it. I think were gonna be around 30 cars for sure so probably double what the last meet was. That means quite a bit of food. Im just trying to make this as good an event as possible. Thanks for the help guys.

Okay, I can bring something but I don't have the brainpower to think of what I want to bring.

Is it September 30th you speak of?

I have a business membership at Sam's Club. You can get huge packages of Johnsonville Brats along with hot dogs and other stuff fairly cheap. A pool and a shopping trip may work well.

That would be best. Im thinking if i can get like 10 people to throw in 5 dollars each we will be good as far as meat goes. If you guys want i can collect 5 from each of you when i see you and we can get it taken care of that morning of the cruise. Tim i live near you so we could swing by on the morning of the cruise.

Ill try and have other for sure people bring buns/chips/ or other items.

Sounds like a good plan. We can get plates and buns and other stuff, too. Although adding too many people to the equation makes everything way more complicated.

Anyway, it sounds like fun. Can't wait to meet everybody.
