The biggest thing I've learned from this channel is that attitude is almost as important as skill. I grew up in an abusive home and as soon as I was on my own, I tried to surround myself with people like this. I remember working on cars with my father and praying I did everything perfectly the first time or face the consequences. At that time I didn't know people and families like this existed. Anyway, I'm grateful for your channel and your success and another great video.
Hello brother. Been there. Kept coming across the bad ones till I learned the same. You don't have to stay around jerks. I was kinda slow. lol
Came here for the Borla exhaust unboxing, stayed for the show.
If I could be guarantee that buying a Corvette with a loud exhaust would manifest a quality lady like Mrs. O, I buy one tomorrow 😂
You said it
I guess the Telsa guys are S.O.L 😂
The two of them do make an absolutely epic couple, I completely agree.
They're both like a fine wine. Better with age!
Wonder if an old Mustang is good enough?
Man, Mrs. O came running out real quick when you fired up that vet! Y'all have a great family and I thoroughly enjoy the interactions between y'all in the videos. The videos are always informative and entertaining. Have a great memorial day weekend!
That was a riot.
Ya seen what I saw so you tell me.... Emmm I right!?
@@SouthMainAuto Darn straight!
probably thought something went horribly wrong. lol
The WD-40 wrapped mug at the end is classic, all you need now is a Brakleen wrapped mug and you will be set.
Until he grabs a real can thinking that it's a drink!
😂😂😂
And a Fluid Film one.
And a Berrymans B12! That will wake you up!
@@Big_Loo they have those!
I swear you can work on anything and make it look EZ The people of Avoca are blessed to have a mechanic with your ability and work ethic. Tip of the hat to you sir
it really is easy .. especially with a lift.. and if you know whats wrong..
some of that wiring/weird stuff he finds i cant do that as a normal person
Nothing like a good swig of WD after a little job to keep the pipes lubed.
And as always “THANKS FOR POSTING” !!
That is hands-down one of the best V8 exhausts I have heard to date.
Dang! Corvette + Loud Exhaust = Mrs. O out there in a heartbeat!😅
@29:50, Hot Chick shows up. That was the laugh I needed to start the day. Thanks for the share.
Did a similar job on the Mustang the other week, swapped out the boring old factory center resonator for a h-pipe. All the reciprosaw fun but with the extra spice that the pipe cuts had to be made right next to the gas tank.
I had to do it on jack stands so my cat was able to occasionally come by and give me a solid headbutt of encouragement.
Saw next to a fuel tank isn't bad, but using a propane torch within an inch of a plastic fuel tank is fun.
Lol love it when Mrs O comes out after you started it up, I’m thinking MrO needs a car with a loud exhaust.great work as always
Mrs. O proves it! Borla is the official SMA "chick magnet" performance exhaust of all time!
I like seeing an old Corvette that's a driver.
The end of this video when Mrs. O comes out to the garage was hilarious!
Loud exhaust note always impresses the ladies!!! 👍🇺🇦👍🇺🇦
I thought I was in an alternate reality. Eric O doing exhaust and no torch🤣
“Chevy thunder!” Gets me every time. Love it.
You and Mrs O are hilarious! Keep up the awesomeness!
I bet he doesn't drive it in the winter , in New York state .
Love the trolling level with that WD - 40 tumbler 😂😂😂
I always love watching SMA 😊
Wow, working on a car that's not all rotted to hell? What a treat!
Have a good holiday Eric...looks like we're going to have great weather all week!
That car likely does not see any use between Halloween and Easter - it's on a low road salt diet.
Also mostly aluminum and fiberglass
Love the banter!
Excellent work. Top notch as always!
That went together, a lot smoother than I would’ve ever expected.
Thanks for sharing. Entertaining and fun video.
Love you two! Thanks for the years of help, and thanks, Mrs. O for the love!
Hey Mrs O! Love the videos. Keep em coming.
Thanks for the video, enjoy the holiday 😊
Great yodel! I enjoy your attention to detail!
Yiu always make me smile, and I learn alot.
Thanks for sharing the family dynamic as well as the muffler install.
WOW, huge diff ! Always fun when Missus O shows up !
Great job solving the tightment issue!
The interaction between Mr. and Mrs. O makes me smile. Such a cute couple.
i love the interaction between you and Mrs. O.!!! She is a Keeper for sure.
C-5 overheating can be a plugged up radiator, it’s like a vacuum cleaner,sucking up all leaves on the road and since the radiator is at an angle, they don’t fall off when you stop. Look under the front bumper with a mirror you may be surprised.
Yeah that's what it was. It was jammed right full of seeds and birds and leaves. Pretty much everything. Took almost a half of 5 gallon pal of dirt and debris out from in there. Most people don't see it on these cars because nobody drives them. Apparently they think they're special haha. I don't see the big deal. They're like $15,000 cars on Facebook marketplace. Why let it sit around, get out and beat the pants off the thing. I don't save nothing for the next guy haha.
Best way to describe left side to people is to refer to steering, left side steering in North America, right side Europe etc. Love the show for about 6 years now. Used to watch car shows on TV all the time but the shows stopped showing the work and are now all talk and advertising so all I watch now is diagnostics and tuning videos on CZcams. Even the news is real here if you know not to watch corporate owned news. Always just been a hobbiest/racer doing repairs for friends and always been good with electronics for a self taught guy so since I retired from the government I am now doing diagnostics and programming for neighbours and local garbages and you played a major role in that development.
Always a quality job done no matter what episode I watch
3:49 Thank you so MUCH !! Most people miss that most important step, read and fully understand what you're about to do BEFORE you try to do it
Sounds amazing!
Love hearing Mrs O. Means someone is looking out for you!
Nice sounding exhaust.
Packaged really well
Great attitude and all it takes is Mrs.O to come out of the office and you can tell how happy they are together. Great team.
I’m just glad you gave us the orchestra at the end. I knew they would sound awesome!
You had me at Borla. Those are some of the best sounding exhausts.
That Vette looks mighty good on ya sir!! And of course the wifey shows up after you’ve been revvin up that LS!! Haha This was a good one!! I’m figurin oh just another exhausting job installing a Borla X-Pipe kit on a C5, but ohhh no no no, it wasn’t!! Great job mechanican once again sir!
God bless~
Thank you for your honesty and integrity your clear and articulate explanations are excellent your combination of old school and new methods are amazing. I really love your interaction with Mrs o God bless you both
another excellent video, thanks SMA
Very impressive packing on the Borla items.
Nice Sunday morning treat!
Eric thank you great video plus you guys are awesome
Sounds perfect
Sounds so good!
Best Family in America. A National Treasure! Godbless
Nice job looks good. That underneath is in really good shape
Im 68 and always been a car guy, do everything I can myself, I drove a truck for many years and always gravitated towards the mechanics hoping to pick something up. I can watch watch a guy work on anything and pretty fast till if hes got it, and you have the whole package, love watching watching your diagnostics, wish you lived closer to me... Best Regards Greg
I sent this video to my neighbor is has plans to upgrade the exhaust on his Corvette. Thanks for the video.
Another great video!!
Borla Packaged that exhaust super well
Right!! That’s 150.00 of foam.
May be the first time I have seen an exhaust has arrived without at least one pipe end deformed. It work$, but Borla is pretty proud of that packaging $ystem.
The foam packaging protects the cargo and also it helps protect from a few ups and fed ex folks care that they give
I bought an OBX catback for my G6 several years ago. It came packaged the same way with the expanding foam. It's probably not that uncommon for items like this.
Thanks Mr. O, and we love you too.
I sure like your approach to do it right. As always, nice work.
Thanks Eric, another great video. I hope this does not offend you but you are an artist.
Good morning Eric and thumbs UP! Happy Memorial Day weekend to Everybody!
Great video Eric :)
At the end you said I hope you guys like it ;)
Mrs "O" liking the "Borla" system!
She got a smile a mile wide 😊
Man, best ending ever. 😂 Love you guys!
I love work I could watch it all day!!
Got the same exhaust on my 2020 ram 1500. Absolutely love it. Good tone, yet not overpowering where you can't drive it long distance without getting a headache.
You’ve got waaaay more patience than I do! I’d have gotten the saws all out pretty quick!
It's exhausting work!
Nothing like a good C5 torque twist to move those pipes! Nice job, Sir
always a good day when Luna makes an appearance.
What a job excellent sounds great on to the next one
Nice work Eric! I bought a Thunderbird Pacific Coast Roadster in 2004,, and the 1st and only mod I made was a Borla exhaust. Not loud at all, but it does have a lil more 'throat' to it. Still have the car today and it's got a whopping 22K miles on it! That's a beautiful Corvette.. I hope you can find the time to bring us along for the rest of the work!
I put on a bolt on borla kit on my scion xb 05 sounded really nice. Nice job Mr O
Nice job, Eric!
You and the misses,
aww it's a Kodak moment!🙂
When I had braces (4 1/2 years) I got a Water Pic. Amazing tool to pressure wash the gunk out of the wires!
Great video!!
Nice videos i usually don’t comment but for the real live experience and seeing as your a family over there my like and comment is worth while for you i hope. Keep doing what you do. I enjoyed it. I just picked up the same exhaust so we will hear it again just this time on my car. Lol
I drove to BORLA in Oxnard California in 1986 with my then new Mustang SVO turbo-four. They fitted the 1st ever kit made for one on my car.
OMG that sounds great!
As the official bearing aficionado of this channel, its nice to be part of the early squad!
Another great job by the Master 👍
Perfect timing , as soon as you cut the pipes a vehicle went past with loud exhaust,nice touch lol
You have to follow up with "Chevy THUNDER!"
New Australian 🇦🇺 Subscriber love the shows. I always BRACE myself when watching Car Technician shows.
You guys are great together.
Nice work! Obviously Mrs O likes them. It was funny that the camera was pointing at the door because I also thought, I wonder if Mrs. O will come out because of the nice sounding pipes. Girls did that with glass pacs in my day!
I love it when Mrs. O appears in the video. She's a special lady, Eric is a very blessed man...
Fun & informative Mr O Cheers.
Great video, as always! 🙂
Yes Sir loud exhaust sure does the trick for attention.. great job.
Nice install
I have a magnaflow exhaust on my 94 mustang gt, loud. Thank gosh, it was on prior to the new nys install law. Inspectors had conflict inspecting it but have since told me, they aren't the police, it has cats so it's inspection legal. Great job. You are meticulous with every job you do, hope you charge for that!
Gravy! And a real nice tone to that pipework.
Nice install. Borla makes some nice stuff. I've had a Borla cat-back on my 1998 Chevy Z71 since about 2001. Still is in great shape and still sounds good after all of these years.
@hellokitteh6431 Not mine. A chevy dealer had posted this new cat-back for sale online for $125. I guess they had had it for a while and wanted to get rid of it.
So fun to watch Mr O and Mrs O interact.
Nice work
That ol' Chevvy does have a sweet exhaust note! Good job Dr. O!
Nice job Mr. O
Nothing to do with the content of this particular video, I just want to say "Thank You" again for doing what you do. We know that there is allot of time and work involved in making these awesome videos and we appreciate it!
Great video as always! It's so fun to see you and the Mrs. banter. Clearly you are perfect together!
