Magna Flow

There's just something that feels really good about working with metal. It may be a false sense of power, but turning two pieces of metal into one is really rewarding. They only thing better than working on your own metal project...working on your little brother's project with him and your dad. Man, it sure felt good to be cutting, grinding, welding, and just being manly. Thanks guys. (special thanks to Lindsey for having purchased the Magna Flow five years earlier for my dad)

Step One: Get as much attention as possible. Jack up your truck in the driveway so everyone will see what you are doing. (special thanks to Rhino for having like ten jacks and every tool you could dream of. Special thanks to Elise for letting him have all of that crap in the garage)

Step Two: Cut out the old muffler and immediately start the car so everyone can hear what you're doing. (special thanks to Kade for not resisting the temptation of firing that thing up with no pipes. Hands down best part of the project.)

Step Three: Walk around with your old muffler on your shoulder so people will ask you what you are doing. Then you can answer, "Oh nothing...just welding in a new exhaust for my truck."

Step Four: Wear a teal jacket to counter-blance all the testosterone and keep the level of manliness at safe levels. (special thanks to Rhino for taking time to teach us some new tricks on conductivity)

Step Five: Don't look directly at the light. (without a doubt, Kade laid down the best bead of the day...on his first pass. Show off.)

Step Six through 25: Just keep grinding until it fits. Measuring is for wimps.

Step Twenty-Six: Obligatory awkward victory photo!
