i have those on my BBS's and i don't think i have lost any weights. i never really even thought about it though. i am going to have to check and make sure they're all still stuck.

Hey, whats up man. Had I ever met you when I was up at the store? I don't really remember you from the meet...next time I'm there make sure to point yourself out. Yeah, Dougs a character. He actually told me the other day that he still wants another VR4...this is after he spent probably over 10g's just fixing his up countless times and putting himself in astronomical debt in the process. He's a funny dude. Good meeting you man.

You're in luck as you can get a dp for 03-04 really cheap used. I got my DP new from TTP new and it works fine. He ships really fast.

TestPipe you can get from anywhere. I got a new resonated one for 50/shipped from ebay. Came with the gaskets and bolts too. Fancy.

Hey man it was nice meeting you to.....You could get a megan downpipe and a cheap test pipe off of ebay for a good price. Another vendor you can pm is zeus, he sells Megan parts and for a good price usually. You don't need high dollar items when it comes to those parts. Or like Dave said, go used? My exhaust minus the test pipe was used parts..

2 Options:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Megan...spagenameZWD1V

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/CAT-T...spagenameZWDVW

You will have to do the cheap antifouler setup for your test pipe from autoparts store or you can buy one on ebay that is already done for you for a little more.

Good luck

the last time i went up there, there was a guard rail running the entire width of the runway right before you could get moving. ha, actualy it hit me by surprise and i almost nailed it, but if you get of 79 at bridgeville and follow that road/highway (i think it's 50?) out a couple of miles its right off that.

also, i went up to meadville today to get some transcripts sent out. MAN do they have it nice. no roads were paved/salted. i must have drove 25miles in a 2 mile radius. i also saw a guy with a silver IX MR. anyone on here know him? it was up at Allegheny college

Well, that certainly sucks. I kinda wanna check it out anyway though. Could make for a great place to snow drift.

Hey man,

Nice to meet ya as well

I have to agree with everyone else on this matter, look for used items , It will save you alot of money , and things like downpipes and what not are just basic hardware if its full 3 inch round your good to go.

Hit me up if you need any help with anything
