Nah no pics of the 3 people meet lol.

But really loads of thanks to Batmobile and PhillyGS, couldn't have done it without them, or it would of been really tough without the proper tools, jacks, and lube.

It would also been extremely cold to do it while it was snowing, who knew the Batcave is heated?

I love the sound, absolutely awesome, its so quiet under 2k rev and its waiting to roar right when you step on it, feels like those active exhaust things. Only thing I wish it would have is a fuller tone all the way to red line, I didn't floor it all the way yet but it seems to die down after 3.5k rpm or so.

Thanks all, I am very happy
