Hey I'm down. Lets do it this weekend. Could everyone make it down to the Block maybe on saturday afternoon? I could meet up with you guys, and then maybe go see a movie afterwards. Just a thought

It's time to update your sig's pic now!

I think a lot of people are really anxious to hear it in person...I think this calls for a mini-meet!

Cool. Let me know. And man does the stuff stink or what . One of my coworkers called me after I was in the office and said..."DUDE YOU CAR IS SMOKING REALLY BAD" Funny stuff. But man, how good do those pipes look coming out of the back

I got the kit from optionimports.com. Out the door with tax it ran me 597. Which isn't too bad. The exhuast is the Tanabe Medallion Touring exhuast. Part number, I have no Idea, and I already threw the box away.
