It sure is nice that I don't have to troll the exhaust marketplace section anymore.

I'm slightly concerned about this part of the pipe. I was thinking of fixing it. If you guys have thoughts or ideas, let me read them.

I woke up at 7, laid there for half an hour, let the dogs out, had a pit stop in the bathroom, made coffee for Tara, then I went back to bed for about another hour. Only thing keeping me awake was hunger.

She's cute. I may have to break out my disk and watch that movie again.

As for MN blonde and blue eyed, most people think that about this state. But I think it's changing no thanks to the open arm policy and gratuitous welfare system in this state.

Waaait, Dave got a new exhaust???? WhoooooHOOOO!!! No more ear plugs

As for the bend in the pipe, from what I can tell in the pic its the exit pipe out of the muffler? Is it visable with the tips mounted?

Looks like the Next Z will have a Twin-6.......the Q60 won't have a manual for its 6-cyl, hopefully they give that manual option for the Z's. Or they might just have the Nismo Z's with the Twin-6......especially since the next Supra/FT-1/whatever will have both options from their BMW/Toyota partnership.

Heat it and round it back or take it to an exhaust shop to properly round it back for you. That's "typical" in shipping of exh pipes.

My buddy had that problem with his EVO's exhaust and he took it to Tim's Custom Exh to round it back....plus got a credit from HKS for the "damage".

Protip:
Don't sell brake parts.
I just dragged 122lbs worth of rotors, calipers, pads, and brake lines down to the post office.

Cost me $117 to ship. Was really hoping i could come in under $100.. but no dice.

I think I'll just take care of that myself. Shouldn't be too hard, I hope.
