Picked up a new daily tonight, mostly because the eBay special Civic was just... when you have to downshift into 3rd or 2nd gear to get up a slight grade uphill because your car will deaccelerate, or it takes you around a minute to pass a semi. As dumb as it may sound, but I basically felt almost unsafe knowing that if I ever needed to accelerate to avoid an accident, it just wouldn't happen. Plus the ride will snap your spine.   So, I picked up a 2004 Subaru Forester 2.5XT   http://i.imgur.com/

So just last weekend the underside of my car got real up close and personal with a curb, it got my O.G. HKS exhaust pretty decently. Side note, my fresh air dam made it out completely intact lol. Anyway, I made this bullet shaped deal out of some 2.5 inch bar stock we had laying around at work. Turned it down in the lathe, put a 45* and a radius on it, then drilled and tapped the back side for a slide hammer. I took a torch to the exhaust and drove the bullet through it.. Tada, almost as go

It's the two metal pieces that bolt in under the hatch carpet I believe
