. Just another reason to start running E85

With that exhaust, a little added NVH from your Z1 Transmission mount is just icing on the cake.
Very nice set-up, Toxic. Short shifter, RJM, cats & catback, sways and intake... you know that I'm feeling your car, man.
Say, look at your rear diff pan. Did your bushing blow out?
[edit] Just looked back through your thread, and you're already aware of this. Like, 4 months ago.
So, what are you going to do about it? Or, since you'd have to drop the rear end, is this the impetus needed for a gear swap? (Once your bank account stops screaming, LOL.)

(Once your bank account stops screaming, LOL.)i have the kit to replace the diff bushing thats what the sawzall was for to cut the old bushing out and replace with the poly kit. but we ran out of time.
If you have family budget considerations, a new set of wheels for your car is a hard sell. I believe most of us can relate to that. Heck, props to you for figuring out how to justify replacement of a perfectly functional exhaust system.
all those were purchased before any thought of moving so didnt get any slack from the wife.. we're almost doubling our mortgage with this move.. but its worth it.. i do however want to build out the bonus as a theater room.. getting it wired for 7.4.2 atmos and projector with scoped screen, so the wheels are gonna get pushed back even more.
