It's true, but don't confuse doing it right with doing it the most expensive way.

I'm not really being serious either. I'm just joking with you, honestly, but I do find what you did..bizarre. I've done plenty of stupid things too. No big deal.. Welcome.

But like stated, you're either going to have to replace it from the previous juncture on back or completely replace the system entirely if you're planning to go that route anyway, and if your funds allow.

I'll have you know, good sir, that in 1982 I was better at Pole Position on the Atari than every other kid living on my cul-de-sac.

And even back then, I knew that the exhaust pipe was on the car for a reason.
