I hope you have seen the stock headers before making these assessments, looks like a 15 year old welded them with a years experience. I will they say do flow well for light bolt on setups.

Good luck getting local vendors to support this site and possibly offer discounts for members with those comments.
Respectfully, i have been doing this car thing for a long time now and i personally just dont want the inspection hassle any longer. I dont want any race car type problems, i want it to start everytime i turn the key, i want to be able to take it to any inspection place without having to know someone for a hookup and all that crap. Squeezing every horsepower out of a car is a huge waste of time and money unless you are building a race car that is purpose built. I kick myself when i think about how much ive wasted over the yearsof doing this stuff. Lol

These new cars are so easy to make powerwith its silly. Exhaust, blower and a tune will make way more than i can useon the street. No need to get silly with it with parts that make the car less streetable and more of a hassle.

Again, that is my opinion that works for me. The car is suppose to be a fun hobby car. It just sits most of the time and driven to enjoy and have fun with. Its not suppose to bring more stress and less fun.

I completely agree with steve. I really enjoy racing a race car but I really hate driving it on the street. If I get 600-700hp outta the new car I'll be just peachy and have a/c and take my wife on a date in it!

I see it like this - the longer you wait, the more likely the rebate is to go up. Hell you may even get a better deal if you do find something that has been sitting on the dealer lot for awhile that you may have missed during your searching.

Oooorrrr you could put in an order for one and get exactly what you want...

Pay out of pocket for the rental more? Or downgrade to a compact. Cheaper cost and on gas.

I paid the last week for my rental out of pocket. You should be able to keep the insurance rate even though they stop paying.

It's easy to find a car. Now finding a car with a price you're willing to pay is another thing entirely. At some point, you're going to have to realize you're buying a new car again and the prices have gone up a lil. You either have to pay the price, or be patient.
