Just a continuation of past behaviour....



Provoking, bullying, intimidating

Since a narcissist's goal is to dominate and be perceived as right at all costs, they often use aggression. This category involves the more overtly aggressive tactics commonly used by narcissists.

Such methods include provoking, bullying, and intimidating, where the narcissist picks on you, calls you names, yells, acts overly emotional, deliberately tries to hurt you, blatantly lies, threatens, or even physically aggresses against you.

Not only that, then they spin it around by presenting it as if by reacting to it or by ignoring them you are the one who's unreasonable, too emotional, and aggressive against them.

The headers are FPA and the exhaust is 2.5"
I just have to figure out how to get the stock looking exhaust tips to fit.

Thanks for all the great comments.  It is nice to celebrate this milestone. 
I even shared it with owner number two (1968-73).  He said, "Wow, wow, wow, wow.
Unbelievable.  Does that bring back memories.  Is it for sale? I love it."

LoL

I bought a after market tips and cut them to fit exhaust

  The tips: The inlets are 1 7/8" or 13/4", 2" at the most.  The rest of the tip is 3".  Good luck (as in will not happen) expanding the intlet as the chrome plating will shatter, making it look like broken glass in the expanded area.

I wouldn't waste much research time. I had the exact same problem. Using the dimensions of a genuine tip I had my muffler shop swedge down a 3 inch pipe down to 2.5 and cut the 3 inch at the appropriate angle before taken the improvised tip to the chrome shop.  FYI give your self plenty of extra 3 inch pipe before the swedge that way you don't have to be precise with the swedge point after it is done then you decide where to cut the angle and where you cut the 2.5 section.

Ok.  Thank you for the response.   The chrome tips that came with the set are turned down at the end and I can't go for that.
My guess is that cutting them to the correct angle will only chip/ruin the chrome coating.   Correct?
