Anybody have non-resonated test pipes they're willing to sell for cheap?

I've somehow managed to break my 3rd set (broke the 1st and 2nd multiple times), so I need new ones to break. My car sounded so loud that I couldn't even think about going to C&C this morning.

I was putting on the stock y-pipe that Jake gave me and saw my y-pipe had been demolished (didn't know it was this bad) at the welds. After the y-pipe was done, I started my car to hear this roaring from underneath my car. I jack it up to see what's going on and see the passenger side test pipe to be in the same condition as the y-pipe that I just took out, except in middle of the metal piping and not at the welds -- WTF.

I think there was a minor crack on the test pipe from me hitting something (a cone or a bump). Unknowingly, I was changing out my demolished y-pipe couple of days ago, but ran into some trouble doing it (stock y-pipe stud's threads were messed up and crossthreaded with the nut so I banged out both studs). Anyway, while I was wrestling with the y-pipe, I turned that unnoticed crack into a tear on the metal piping, where it's only hanging by an inch of steel.

Hehe, last purchase I'm making for awhile now. I got pretty much the cheapest one, it was like $430 after the $50 off and 10% student discount. But man, I can already see how much better this is when you want to do something beyond just capture an image. I really wanted one to take pictures at college, since I will have alot more free time. It's a hobby I've wanted to take up for a little while now.

I can already see pockets going empty quicker with a new hobby picked up. I'm afraid when I do actually get one, my pockets will just have deeper holes.

Ya, I kinda decided to give up paintball in college for this year, now. Don't want to spend any more money until I get back from college and buy more car stuff.
