New Driver Here

Just want to introduce myself, my name is Mike and I am 36 years old, probably older then some folks here, I am the proud original owner of a sexy 05 GG MR, all this time I never really went on-line to search about this car, actually even before I bought her I never new anything about the EVO, I never knew this car had such a cult following, all I can say is "WOW".

the reason I bought my EVO is because I wanted a quick and nimble vehicle that I can have fun with on Sundays, my friend suggested the EVO, I originally wanted too wait for the 05 Pontiac GTO with the 6.1, boy am I glad I listened to him, this car is what I wanted and more, a lot more.

we'll anyways I started changing some stuff this month, my first "Mod" is the JDM EVO 9 rear, I changed the bumper myself and it took about an hour with my 5 year old son helping, what do I now do with the exhaust? it sticks out a little. can anyone here let me know what to do?

Thank you

yes that makes sense, so you are saying that you are an older fart?

36 here and been racing since 17. Semi-new to the evo's.....youl find 'em real easy to modify...almost as easy as the 86-87 turbo buicks. Old is dead. And dead is done. Not everyones mommy and daddy buys them these cars. Any real car buff knows these cars are the real deal.
