blinker fluid is the other item that needs changing, especially with upgraded bulbs.

Send payment via Paypal to excelerate@sbcglobal.net and specify what you're ordering and for what car and that you're part of the GB.

If that's the case, I can always go to non-res by putting in a str8 pipe, or keep it res and better flowing with a test pipe, correct?

Someone chime in (that knows for sure) and let me know so I can get hell for the $850 (890)+ credit card bill.
Get the resonated and if you want it louder then remove the resonator. You would have to cut it out and then weld in a new straight section.

They are joking with you. There is no such thing as a muffler bearing.

Don't know about this exhaust. When I added my resonator on my setup, except for sound change I could not tell at all as far as power. I would get the resonated.

I need to order the J-Pipe too, Josh. LMK how much.

Also, would your shop like to do the honors of installing mine and shipping my stock pieces home?

Josh or anyone else, I remember someone was talking about changing the stock exhaust hanger rubbers with the installation of a new exhaust. Reason for doing this to reduce the chance of muffler movement.

If you purchase the j-pipe at the same time I will do $390 shipped; usually it's $400 plus about $25-$35 for shipping. You can leave the cats alone or maybe at least upgrade the third cat.

Yes we will install the exhaust for $100. The stock piece is one unit minus an axleback on one side. I won't be able to ship that. We would have to cut it up and you would have to pay for shipping back.

You can use those polyurethane hangers if you like.

i've got them on my toyota truck from 1995, and they are fine. i would not think it is necessary to replace them and would be a waste of money. i would not use urethane due lack of flexibility that you want in the system.

Do you guys ship to canada? If yes, how much more? I wanted to PM you instead, but I don't have access to that yet. I don't mind if you guys only ship with USPS as well.
