Reason: updates
first we had our way with the exhaust, from my local muffler shop Babe's Lightning...
did custom Y-pipe mini resonator collector into a straight thru magnaflow can.
...big thanks to kurt as always.

Reason: additional pic
wrapped up the motor side of the exhaust yesterday, finishing off the fully custom header back system.
starting with 2x2.5" 250 cel 034 Motorsport high flow cats, we then plumbed down to the current cat-back we did a couple weeks back.
034 also supplied O2 bungs and sensor spacers we fabbed in helping avoid any CEL issues while maintaining smogability.
contact me if your looking to have his services done on your shifter, e-brake, or steering wheel!
Damn, I would have used your guy for the re-threading of our B8's Tip shift knob. I have a feeling I got charged a bit too much over at Bascom Upholstery.
ryan at brothers in arms completely tore down my factory S8 wheel, rewrapped it in perforated alcantara, and stitched this wheel...he even went to far as to strip and repaint a weathered S8 badge I was stuck with.
TOP NOTCH WORK...just wait till the carbon trim is installed for the interior shot.
please, email me regarding ryan's services and I will get you a pricing program and contact information!
