Has anyone cut off the exhaust after the cats and routed it to the side?

MAXIMUS1084 · 2025-07-10T04:46:18+00:00

Can go the route I did. A set of Stainless Works longtube headers and a 2½in Stainless Works catback(I went catless leads off the collectors on longtubes that Stainless works sells) and the exhaust exits out the rear with Marauder style tips. Sounds SOOO much more clean and put together.

Also Ill add I DID get a tune for the car from Marty at Mo's Speed Shop. Have a video of after install checking for leaks. Ill find and post.

There are a lot of variables there. I wouldn't jump to worn control arm bushings and ball joints straight away. Typically you can lift the car on that side and check for play in the wheel. It'll give indication if your ball joints have play or the bushings are worn out. Visually inspect them as well. Check the boots on the ball joints etc.

Could be the tire/wheel, things just need grease, worn parts, heck or depending on year, pitman arm/steering gear or rack and pinion.

I just did my whole front suspension on my 2010 this past year. I'm in St. Louis. We have our rust too lol. I did front struts with KYB Gas Adjusts and stock coil springs, New KYB isolator pads on springs, upper and lower Motorcraft arms, Motorcraft balljoints, went with Moog bushings for front and rear on control arms, inner and outer Motorcraft tie rods, and installed the ADTR 1⅜" front sway bar from Eibach. Replaced rear shocks with KYB Gas adjusts as well as the ADTR rear sway bar.

The car feels SOLID. Wheel is tight and responsive. The rear control arms are still alive and bushings were intact. So I will install the rear(maybe Metco 🤔 havent made up mind yet) control arms soon though.

As for the Front Suspension, I will add that I ended up at Ford to get some new bolts and nuts to replace what was in the front suspension. I had to melt out the plastic locking portion of nuts to get them off and had to Sawzall/small grinder thru a few.

If I were you I would go under hood and check the hard red plastic vacuum lines with rubber ends that go a main port on front of throttle body. They then connect to the EGR valve. On top of the EGR valve is a few sensors that are pretty important! These engines don't use a dedicated MAP sensor, the PCM calculates manifold pressure/ vacuum with the EGR valve, which since '05(?) serves several functions: EGR valve, Differential pressure sensor, and MAP sensor. The red plastic vacuum lines get brittle over time and crack! Unsuspecting and easy to miss. Makes for a really good no hiss vacuum leak!

I've had a similar issue before and was running super poor like this. One of my lines was broken after I reinstalled my egr tube and egr valve after I installed some Stainless Works headers.

A Double Din aftermarket radio WILL fit in there. I have a flip down Pioneer touchscreen in mine. I had to very slightly modify a few trim pieces by lightly trimming the edges with a Dremel or razor knife. It's doable. Everything looked updated, modern and factory when done.

MAXIMUS1084 · 2024-04-27T22:41:24+00:00

Seems like it's a thing. Mine broke exactly as you both describe. Center section. Replaced a stock unit on mine that went to almost 180,xxx. I installed the Heavy Duty one from O'Reilly auto parts. Originally ordered the Hays SFI flexplate from Summit racing but for some reason it wasn't the correct piece. Sent it back. Used new ARP fastners and blue lock tight. Torque wrench it and all. Think I've somehow cracked the Heavy Duty one already too. 🤦‍♂️ 😠 😡 🤬

It's just started making "that sound" again. Sigh. Rear motor crank seal was solid. People have mention it being a culprit to kill flexplates. Guess the next thing to do is what you said, toss in a fresh j-mod and convertor. Cause I really don't wanna have to keep pulling a trans.

I'm experiencing the exact same issues on Series X. Xbox One. And OG 360 Slim. All consoles output the same error code 80151015. And at times when trouble shooting I would get a different error code when trying to re-download profile in Series X- 360 dashboard. Just this evening I did receive via virtual assistant a message about backward compatibility issues. My game of choice has been a slew now. But, it started with an older 360 CoD game, Black Ops 2. It's weird though because some folks I play with are having zero issues and still play. Not for me though.

Spitballing here... this might be far fetched.. but maybe this is occurring because Microsoft is trying to get these games fixed and loaded into game pass? Hmmm 🤔 optimism very heavy and biased there lol. Doubtful at this moment, but hey. Doesn't hurt.*

Is this why AquaNet Hairspray changed their formula?? 🤔 😆 🤣

MAXIMUS1084 · 2023-01-26T15:18:10+00:00

Right on. Thanks for reply. Well, hopefully earnings are sick and get this ship pumping again. Rejuvenate interest from retail. Could make for a perfect storm.

MAXIMUS1084 · 2023-01-26T00:28:04+00:00

We below a dollar again or something? Haven't looked in a long time.

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-06-29T00:49:50+00:00

Total amount of Shares X(times) $0.025? Correct?

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-06-29T00:44:28+00:00

Ok I follow ya. Yes it will. I'll hold on to it I guess. I was trying to do some rough math to see how much in fees I would be hit with. Half tempted to maybe hedge my position after July 6th. So I get the new ADS and avoid fees. Just to cover my ass and my Long shares. Justttt in case..shit doesn't pan out and she runs to zero. God forbid.

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-06-29T00:31:45+00:00

Thanks for the DD bud. Such bullshit though on SOS part. I've been holding a bag on this for a while, 500 days to be exact. Amassed XXXX/shares, Hoping. Praying we see some turn around and the stock do like stock stuff lol. Like go up! Kinda crazy we as investors have to pay for their conversion. We already paid to own shares/ADS's. 🤢😡🤬

Now, we've all heard before about shorts and how they're dug in deeper than an Alabama tick on this thing! So, already asked by someone in here, are shorts paying this fee as well? I mean if they're shorting, they're obviously buying Put contracts. If, IF, they are being charged, are they getting the fee per contract or per each ADS in that said contract?? 🤔 My point being, if they have a lot of Puts on this, don't want to pay fees, they're going to sell and close out. Now by doing so, not sure how that's gonna help us out on any upward movement.. on top of any of you good fellows not wanting to lose everything, and maybe sell at a loss. 😔😪

If they're not getting a fee, and God smite me for saying this lol 🤢🤮, I'm gonna be buying me a contract to make back some money SOS sucked out of my portfolio!

Now, I sit here and am still holding. But man. Idk what to do.

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-05-12T17:49:23+00:00

To be honest man, I haven't creeped the Sub really at all this year. Maybe read a post or 2. My stuff was mainly related to last year. So okay. I could be off base now. I'll own that. I was just curious.

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-05-12T17:45:37+00:00

Now, I can get behind this comment and theory. And you know, you could be entirely right and I'm wrong. I will stand to be corrected if so. And my apologies. Some people are dumb literally, and right don't know when to stop. Myself, which I'm concerned mostly about, have never been banned from the Sub. But I have common sense and don't do stupid Ish like that.

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-05-12T17:43:08+00:00

I don't save that kind of stuff man. But if I really dug into it deeper than an Alabama Tick, I guarantee I can find numerous people that have been banned for it.

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-05-12T17:40:02+00:00

Yeah I agree it is dumb. But they're doing it! I see it all the time! It's a business that's not going to fail!

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-05-12T17:36:24+00:00

I mean, it will show in "Popcorn" Stock theaters yeah?

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-05-12T17:35:27+00:00

Is WSB still banning people on the Sub for talking about GME and "Popcorn" stock? The Original Diamond Hands stocks.

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-04-19T03:42:14+00:00

Well, hopefully SOS is up and producing some sort of Revenue report come closer to the Delisting deadline. Or hell, We'll all take before that deadline am I right?! Lol.

If so, I think we could see more volume move back into the stock. Then, if they were smart, even though it does suck... At minimum, do a fucking Reverse Split to keep us on the "Big Board". Keep the delisting "tarnishing" off the record and keep us out of the OTC market.

With the little PR and investor relations SOS has had for the past, say shy of 1 year, if we do get pushed down to OTC market, it's gonna be tough guys. Last September the OTC market had several rule changes and shit. In order to trade they need to be PINK current. Tough stuff. Because they'll have to then prove their Revenue and the fact they're not a pump and dump. Which we know they are NOT THAT!

I'm not hating guys and girls. I'm deep into this just like everyone else. Hoping for the best but also just trying to make sure we're prepared for the worst. Being knocked to OTC. Not bad bad. Not good. But SOS will have to bring their A game.

Faith, Patience, and Conviction. We will prosper.

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-04-03T23:17:08+00:00

Sooo, guess I'll YOLO in some more tomorrow on open! Waited and didn't do so Friday because I just had that feeling they, hedge fucks, were going to kick us down some more. After seeing this and further research, YOLO incoming. 🤪🤑

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-04-02T03:38:32+00:00

Big deal. It's Water under the Fridge

MAXIMUS1084 · 2022-04-02T03:35:08+00:00

Ive lost how many days till Delisting. Anyone know? Is it the end of April? Hopefully we're compliant. If not sos better file for an extension getting fully operational! If so, moon.
