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 😂

That is hands-down one of the best V8 exhausts I have heard to date.

@29:50, Hot Chick shows up. That was the laugh I needed to start the day. Thanks for the share.

Nothing like a good swig of WD after a little job to keep the pipes lubed. And as always “THANKS FOR POSTING” !!

Dang! Corvette + Loud Exhaust = Mrs. O out there in a heartbeat!😅

“Chevy thunder!” Gets me every time. Love it.

Love the trolling level with that WD - 40 tumbler 😂😂😂

The end of this video when Mrs. O comes out to the garage was hilarious!

I like seeing an old Corvette that's a driver.

Mrs. O proves it! Borla is the official SMA "chick magnet" performance exhaust of all time!

I thought I was in an alternate reality. Eric O doing exhaust and no torch🤣

Loud exhaust note always impresses the ladies!!! 👍🇺🇦👍🇺🇦

Eric is so smooth; he could pick up chicks riding a skateboard!!😃😃

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.

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.

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.

"When I spit...it looks like just washed the dishes." Classic!! 😂

The interaction between Mr. and Mrs. O makes me smile. Such a cute couple.

Boy you said it-- back in my old high school/ college days I thought stuff like that was kind of neat. That was 30+ years ago. Now I find myself yelling at the kids driving down the street with crap like that. Funny what time does to your opinions.

I got a good laugh out of "may pops". I was walking into work one day and noticed I could see steel belts on one of the guys tires that commutes 90 miles each way. I went by his work station to let him know. He was as calm as could be when he replied, they are 2 plies and that's only the first showing.

Love you two! Thanks for the years of help, and thanks, Mrs. O for the love!

I thought her name was Rona for the longest time, then I heard it clearly, Luna. She wasnt fooling around about going inside with Mrs. O who has the goodies for her. She was polite with Mr. O and tolerated his delay in opening the door, but she wanted in now.

i love the light blur of the license plate for comedic effect

Could be a 20 min. Test drive in the making. and a stop for ice cream 😊😊😊

Now you have to get a Cherry Bomb for Mrs. O's van!! 😂🍒💣

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 KZread. 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.

Only about 2/3 of the way through, but I had to stop and comment. This is a production shop where time is money, period. But every job I see is handled just like he was working on his own car, checking details and making sure everything is perfect - not just bolted together. That says everything about how Mr. O approaches his work and his regard for his customers. I don't know his hourly rate, but whatever it is it's worth it since the job will be done to the highest standards. The opposite of roll it in, roll it out ASAP.

That went together, a lot smoother than I would’ve ever expected.

Neighbor has a LOUD Borla exhaust on a Shat-Vette....would trade listening to that thing start every morning for just about anything else.

I’m just glad you gave us the orchestra at the end. I knew they would sound awesome!

Nice job, Eric! You and the misses, aww it's a Kodak moment!🙂

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~

Great yodel! I enjoy your attention to detail!

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

Thanks for sharing the family dynamic as well as the muffler install.

Always a quality job done no matter what episode I watch

I like to see you change a corvette tire

I sent this video to my neighbor is has plans to upgrade the exhaust on his Corvette. Thanks for the video.

I always love watching SMA 😊

Nice sounding exhaust. Packaged really well

What a treat, a little bit of "gas axe" action would have been the icing on the cake.

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!

You had me at Borla. Those are some of the best sounding exhausts.

WOW, huge diff ! Always fun when Missus O shows up !

Love hearing Mrs O. Means someone is looking out for you!

As the official bearing aficionado of this channel, its nice to be part of the early squad!

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

i love the interaction between you and Mrs. O.!!! She is a Keeper for sure.

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 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.

Mrs. O is a totally cool/funny chick. Love to see a good looking, family oriented woman have a sense of humor and not all stuck up and offended at your jokes. Shes a definite keeper. You already knew that tho.

I sure like your approach to do it right. As always, nice work.

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!

New Australian 🇦🇺 Subscriber love the shows. I always BRACE myself when watching Car Technician shows.

So fun to watch Mr O and Mrs O interact.

"it looks like I just washed the dishes" 🤣🤣perfect. don't be overly sensitive about things and just embrace it. always think of the end outcome, just like doing a great automotive repair.

Best Family in America. A National Treasure! Godbless

That ol' Chevvy does have a sweet exhaust note! Good job Dr. O!

You’ve got waaaay more patience than I do! I’d have gotten the saws all out pretty quick!

"Man Down" _my favorite phrase by Eric O..............

Good morning Eric and thumbs UP! Happy Memorial Day weekend to Everybody!

Nice job looks good. That underneath is in really good shape

I keep telling my buddy we NEED a lift, especially if your over 60. Another quality job Eric. Time for some of your ribs

Nothing like a good C5 torque twist to move those pipes! Nice job, Sir

Thanks Eric, another great video. I hope this does not offend you but you are an artist.

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

Love the banter!

The Vette owner has great taste in performance exhaust system.

Just what the world needs, another loud vehicle!

Lol..

I grew up in the very late 60's-early 70's and had a ton of 60's -early 70's muscle cars. Back then everybody placed their mufflers right off of the headers. Having performance mufflers right up front sounded completely different than installing them after the rear axle. What a smooth rumble and a very mean WOT tone I used to get. My C2 and C3 Corvettes always got side pipes so they were pretty much right up front as well and sounded amazing. No offense to you as everybody has their own taste when it comes to exhaust sound but todays C5, C6 and up remind me of the Ricer cars of the 90's-2000's with their 4 cylinder engines and a big fat fart pipe muffler right at at the rear bumper. Exact same sound just higher pitch than the LS V8 This is the reason that my C5 Vert exhaust is, and shall remain stock. Good job on the install.

Man, best ending ever. 😂 Love you guys!

Hey Mrs O! Love the videos. Keep em coming.

I love it when Mrs. O appears in the video. She's a special lady, Eric is a very blessed man...

Excellent work. Top notch as always!

I put on a bolt on borla kit on my scion xb 05 sounded really nice. Nice job Mr O

Thanks Mr. O, and we love you too.

Hey, I have the same index finger configuration. Hilarious how Mrs O appeared instantly on startup!

Nice Sunday morning treat!

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.

Great job solving the tightment issue!
