Gay. Get it inspected and go to court. It will get thrown out no problem.

wow i go to two meetings and miss a ton of crap.

Paul type-r: I really like the Cobb catback, i think it sounds great and looks great. A couple of things though from what Eric (lithium) experienced. The tip started rusting, odd for stainless, withing a very short time. Also, the downpipe was slightly tapping the oil pan. I would recommend megan DP, perrin or cobb HFC, and cobb or tanabe catback. I also recommend starting from the turbo and working out. You will see the most gains going that way and if you get to a place you like WITHOUT the HFC or catback you wont have to make the investment. Just my $.02

Vegas, nice choice on oil. I love that stuff. did you make sure it said made in germany on the back?

Dex, WTF how is an exhaust a safety violation?

i dunno, is there someone i can take it to change my safety R to an emissions issue?

+1 on the tanabe touring medalion. if i do end up getting a different cat-back, thats the one i'm going with.

Exhaust leak...he's poisoning my world and jeopardizing my safety. Grow up, Mike, we're all responsible adults here and it's time that Dex stopped killing our environment with a post-cat exhaust leak.

Geesh

I do know that there aren't grace periods for safety issues...but your sticker said "S & E" for the safety and emissions check. Is it a black R or red R that you have?

Did they fail you for just the exhaust leak? or the windshield, too?

What are you waiting for, with regards to your exhaust? can you and I fix it tonite/this weekend?

the officer was also confused, considering it was a post cat leak.

Hardware's no biggie...we cna take care of that at Lowe's.

The DP bung could be welded on the car...mine was...otherwise, we can just get you some new hardware and cut the TXS off for now...put the stocker on...

Is your leaking gasket at the axle-back joint? or the cat joint? is it a standard 3" gasket with 2 bolt holes? i have 2 more 3" gaskets at my house.
