Check your brake lines before you get in any cars from now on....also recommend a remote start system. Wouldn't want to be sitting in any bomb..err....car you're about to start.

Thanks guys :/ I have the worst luck ever.
Car went into the shop today, $10,xxx in damages, needs new rear suspension, all bumper parts, hatch, gas tank, bumper support, rear quarter panels, exhaust, trunk floor, frame rails need to be fixed, + paint.
Repair is going to take 35 days they say because of 80-90 man hours.
I got a 2012 altima to drive in the mean while, thank god for insurance...

Another update.
New quarter panels on, new trunk floor welded in, new exhaust, brakes, suspension, hatch, etc... all on + brand new paint.
Bumper is awaiting to go on, just getting all new lights hooked up and then off to be aligned. I get it back on Tuesday

Just ordered custom resonated test pipes, plenum spacer, front tow hook, new rear sway bar, all new LEDS for all lights (flasher, licence, etc...) & smoked tail light overlays (want to see if they look good on my car or not, they were $15 shipped, who cares)

Installed resonated test pipes, sway bar and tow hook today.
For anyone wondering: OEM exhaust with resonated test pipes sounds amazing, if you get an aftermarket Y pipe and remove the muffler it sounds even more godly.
Also, If your O2 Sensors are stuck in your cats, don't go out and buy 2 new ones at $175/each. You dont need them. I got no CEL lights, gas milage wasnt effected and a/f ration didnt change either.

Happen to have a video of the exhaust sound with the resonated test pipes etc with stock exhaust?

tru3aznplayaz: Yes!!! LOL now we got the whole story!
I will record an exhaust clip for you guys tomorrow, personally - I love the sound.
I do have bad luck though.
Here's a new pic of the engine bay with intake, plenum spacer, strut bar and new manifold installed. (Engine bays a bit dirty)
Up next I am getting coilovers, Nismo front bumper (PM me BAUSauto), side skirts, rear bumper valence, Nismo wing and then after all that a new hood, 07+ headlights + tails and TT.
