Random Little Question Thread
Cory, don't get Megan test pipes. From what I hear, they WILL crack on you.
Also, you may want to shy away from all test pipes. All of them rasp too much for me, even resonated test-pipes. But everyone's opinion is different, so you'll want to listen to some clips and decide for yourself.

i can't find any good clips but i don't mind a little rasp. i've hung around the german car scene too long.. m series and porsches just sound amazing so i don't mind. and i figure i can't find the oe-rs for under $440 shipped, for an extra $60 i can always sell the test pipes for more than what i bought them for
Thanks for the input guys. I definitely had the sense that these shops were trying to take me for a ride with those quotes.
I had originally planned to install the suspension myself but got discouraged by some seized rusty nuts a few weeks ago when I tried to do the fronts. After picking up a breaker bar and some liquid wrench this afternoon I managed to install the rear springs and shocks, and get 5 of the 6 rear sway nuts loose. It took 5 hours but in the end - success!
I may give the fronts another go in the morning. Right now it looks like I've got junk in the trunk.

Are these the clips that hold on the bumper?

For those of you that bought them from China, how long did that take?
