Waiting is the hardest part.

My purchases for the week...

A custom B-pipe and resonator (glasspack) to the OEM Muffler. Car feels faster now that I got rid of that crimped S section. Decreased the sound in the cabin too....very good mod. Grade: A-

Kenwood 858 MP3 Player. Has some serious bells and whistles. Awaiting install this Wed.

Progress springs and Tokico blues. Installing this Thursday/Friday. I managed to get $100 bucks labor to do the install at the place I bought them from. I'm looking forward to this one the most. I hope the 1.7 drop in front doesn't leave me scraping. I have no aftermarket body kits, so I should be fine.

I hate waiting for all these goodies. Its the worst feeling ever! I feel like a little kid again though!!!

Can you post some detailed pics of your ride once your Tokico/Progress Springs set-up is installed??? I was thinking about buying these springs too,but would like to see how the drop looks.

Where did you get your tokicos and how much were they? I have 53,000 miles and I am debating wether or not to install my maxspeed springs on the stock struts. Also does your car get off the line faster or slower with the b-pipe and how much was it? Thanks.

Where did you get this done? Somewhere local in/near Seattle? I'm always curious about anything which refers to a decrease in cabin noise. Details please!

MichaelAE,
I got it done at Bucky's on HWY 99 & 196th in lynnwood for $171 bucks. It took em about 2 hrs on a saturday because they were busy. I think any local muffler shop should be able to handle it.
