It came in on Tuesday, however it is missing a mounting piece that is needed for the middle mounting thing. I am going to try and get that and if I can't, figure out a way to rig it up somehow.

OK I need a recommendation on a exhaust shop to do some custom work. The place I took it to before had some nasty welding job.


- Take it to Tonys Custom Exhaust in Glen Burnie. They usually do a good job.

going to get it checked out on monday but the car is pulling to the right even though the alignment sheet said everything was equal. there is also a clunking noise in the front when i make a hard right or left (parking or making a u-turn). they replaced the front right-tie rod but something is still off.

*sigh* tcs are cursed for me, the marker the body shop used to write "stonechips" ate into my paint, which i discovered only after giving it a thorough wash at details.

yea thats tru. but the extra 150 isnt worth the trip. she has had her car serviced there only they have all the records for her car and they know her face. if there is anything wrong with the S/C then its good that she got it from fitz cause the hike to R&H isnt worth it from bethesda.

I wasnt doubting you or yr words. I didn't remember how much you had said.
Do you think I can "haggle" the price down if I mention RnH quote?

uGH... I need to figure out if I want to keep my box or trade it in on a new 2008 xB which to me seems like the better car. Even though I love my little box, and I can't get JDM parts for the new one.

Thoughts?

yup. and when a problem solver like myself gets so fustrated and out of ideas, there are two choices, start over from scratch or abandon all hope.

It would cost me $1000 to start over. New exhaust downpipe (including cat) to axle back and upstream o2 sensor.
