Don’t change the mufflers till you get carpet and a full interior in there as it will muffle the sound a bit.

Is the upper radiator hose hot at 180 (test with infrared gun)? Also, not sure if you’ve done so but I check every thermostat in a pot of water with a thermometer before install - so far above 50% don’t open at advertised rating - more like 10-15 degrees above it.
