Exhale Better Bertha - Fujitsubo Super Legalis R

One of the first mods I wanted to do on Bertha was to change its restrictive and quiet exhaust. Then bham, found someone selling an almost brand new (3 months old) FGK exhaust on the net at a reasonable price. SMS him immediately, did the final negotiation for the final price, and that sweet pipe was mine. To scobbies who don't know what this pipe is all about, shame on you. For everyone else, click this link to know more about this exhaust.

The deal closure was quick, couldn't say the same about the process of installing it. Those in Singapore, would know what i'm talking about. First, went to a popular pro-subaru workshop to install the exhaust, what a mistake! I came at 1pm and there was already a queue of subby cars there. Was told my car would be ready in an hours time, well, an hour had passed, my car was still parked the the same spot. Fast forward 2 hours later, still same place. Annoyed as I was, the workshop owner was very apolegetic about it, so i let it slide. Anyways, finally got it installed, ah, finally the wait is over, but those that know BMS workshop, you guys would know how packed that place is and how narrow the driveways are. While driving out the car, my side door got dinged with another parked car... haizz, I'm sorry Bertha, I will fix that ding later, had no time to cry over it now, I had to rush to the inspection center to have that exhaust legalized for Bertha. Reached the inspection center on time, got the approval stamp I needed to certify the exhaust and my dreamy/nightmare of a day has ended.

Actually, the day has not ended yet, now i have to explain to my wife a)about the new exhaust b)about the ding on the car.. which one you reckon would freak her out more.. :-) Let me enjoy the purring from my bertha first before i hear the blaring from my wife...
