I-5 Turbo mufflers (for 4ktq)

[Roa, Greg]

Don't forget to give me a call if you need any help when doing it Elliot.  Still putting together the 4kq's suspension, and working on the new house (and appeasing the new wife), but I'll try and make some time if you need me.

If nothing else, take lots of pictures, and write everything down, in case my 4kq, "accidentally" finds a turbo motor that it wants.....   ; )

Good luck!
