o i also forgot about suspension, any recommendations on where to go to get suspension parts, i completely agree with you guys who think that the stock suspension is too loose, i feel like if i push it too hard thru some turns im goin flip like i was in a truck, its terrible

warpspeedperformance.com $200 for alumized steel and $250 for stainless steel
http://thewrx.netfirms.com/lss/frame.htm budget y-pipes prices about the same as warpspeed.

I suggest these versus ebay knockoffs that have fitment issues

Warpspeed has been known to have fitment issues as well. As a former owner of one, I should know. Unless they have managed to fix those, then I cannot recommend them.

Only two companies have zero fitment issues. Stillen and Cattman. Pick your poisen.

Well considering the y-pipe costs around $200 can you tell me where I can get an 00vi for $300? Looking in the for sale section these things go for 450+.

Wow that is cheap. Why do so many of the .org'ers try to rape other members on the board by charging such high prices? I know it is some work but damn a 3-400 dollar markup for maybe an hour or two of work.
