Every time I see a thread tagged with "fister," I wonder how many people google their way here and then wonder why the hell they're looking at pictures of mufflers.

You can do eet! Come on, man, get that sucker finished!

DT...As the OP I must remind you of the title of this thread!

Don't feel bad but the mechanic who did my install had problems as well, but I was able to get real time advice from the RennListers in here. Good luck. It sounds like you are closing in on it! Trust me, the first time your hear your new Fister D's it will be well worth it!

Thanks. I bookmarked this thread months ago after searching because of the solid advice on how to do it. The advice is solid for a rust free car. Mine is not.

For me Fister D ranks right up there along with:

John Holmes
Dale Dabone and
Brian Pumper!

Mine are in the mail to FD Motorsports. Gotta say, Darin has been super awesome to work with. He called me yesterday to go over what hardware I was going to need and we had a good laugh at this ridiculous process. Can't wait to get them back.

You will love the sound! Thanks for sharing your pain - and thanks to all the Rennlisters who offered advice and encouragement.

This is the way the site is supposed to work!
