1st D.I.Y on The 180sx Exhaust

Well i have wanted to do this for time now but never got the chance. Finally i'm free today and decided to get my lazy ass off the chair and start some work on my 180sx. The first thing that came well i have wanted to do this for time now but never got the chance. Finally i'm free today and decided tothrough my mind was getting the exhaust changed as the previous owner did gave me another aftermarket exhaust. Although its nothing fancy like HKS, TRUST etc..... but for now it would work as i'm struggling to survive myself..

the stock exhaust















making sure the jack is sitting at the center of the differential














putting on stands to make sure the car don't fall down(as teach in my automotive class during safety)














stock exhaust is out














stock exhaust comparing to the aftermarket one that i got














after installing the exhaust is time to put the car back down(college also teach that must have our ppe on all the times when working haha....)














Finally job's done....
















Do stay tuned guys as more updates would come later.... i'm planning and saving up what to do next

Hyudai Genesis

Touge ( tōge?) is a Japanese word literally meaning "pass." It refers to a mountain pass or any of the narrow, winding roads
