Soon!

In the meantime I've had a wild night haha

So AAA towed me to the exhaust shop and I decided I would drive back. My brakes got locked up REALLY badly so I had to pull over into a little side street. AAA said they couldn't tow me back home from this street because my registration is expired, I was lucky with the first guy I guess. So luckily, across the street from where I stopped is a shop that my dad knows the owner of, so I drove it over there and left it there. The weird part is I tested the brakes a little and they felt fine! I didn't want to drive home because one headlight is out.
I can hopefully try to drive it home in the morning!

As for the exhaust it sounds mean! Really deep. I'll get a video soon

AHH damn.. Get that stuff sorted out so we can hear this thing! OH and btw, you better romp on it :)

where did you buy the rebuild kit for the brake calipers? and what diy link were you looking at to rebuild your calipers? thanks!

Get any pictures of the exhaust before they took it off the lift?

Barely made it home today! The damn brakes are locking up still
Here is a quick exhaust video my buddy shot. Sorry about the fan noise, I have to run it all the time, because every fan switch I buy seems to be faulty

That sounds mean as hell. Do you know why your brakes are locking up yet?

I don't I messed with it a little bit more today and still can't get them to stop. I'll post about it in a separate post probably.

They do fit great! I love the way it turned out.

Brakes are still locking up :(

So they are applying more force than you want them to? Maybe has something to do with the brake booster clevis? What booster/brake setup are you running again?

No, not necessarily. They are just not retracting. I'm running the stock brakes, relocated booster.
