No, your insurance should cover that repair. If you are worried about rock chips, get a clearbra cover put on. Mitsubishi paint is notoriously poor.

My brother has some property at his house (like 3 acres or something) so we can do whatever we want there. We put together a potato launcher similar to that and have a hole at the bottom where you spray just a little bit of hair spray in there and hold the lighter about 3 inches away! it never gets old!
this thing will be a blast, just hope that 100PSI dont make it just explode all over the place

We built one in college and was shooting it off behind the campus - potato's flying everywhere.
(I dunno how fast we would have been arrested if caught with it
)We actually blew the rear off the gun apart from the hairspray igniting and potato was stuck....It sent a piece into my friends car - made a nice square pvc cap indentation in it...luckily he was t-boned 2 days later and insurance fixed it all
I would love to make one with a compressor, I cant imagine how far they would fly!!

does Pendot hold responsibility to any exterior damage caused by the little rocks that fly at my car while behind other people? None so far but in my suby it cracked my damn windshield, and effed up my front bumper bad
oh and my little physics class project
100 psi chamber to a modified irrigation sprinkler valve to a 7 foot barrel....its scary

Final update...
Was out and about in the evo today
16psi on WG pressure felt great
some pump/e85/Q16 tuning coming very soon...
PS: any locals interested in an Innovative LC1 wideband kit with gauge let me know.

The oil and chipped roads might not be everywhere you go.
The RS has no sound deadening. None. Zero. Zilch. You will hear every little pebble that the tires kick up and hit the underside of your car I am used to the noise and don't even notice because I always have the radio on but it is constant, aided by my sticky street sweeper tires. You may also notice a similar noise in the rain or on wet roads.

potato gun launches went awesome today! ill upload some video of the gun powder one that made all the car alarms go off 
mine decided to shoot out the valve stem.
the trigger mechanism is a irrigation sprinkler valve that i modified and used a air gun to release the valve open.
haha yeah im used to it already. the droning titanium exhaust keeps the road noise down.

Another thought.

On a positive note I had to take my Azenis off since they were about to show cords so now with these cheap all seasons I put back on I can hit any road without hearing rocks
I can't wait till these things wear out, if they ever do

As soon as I bought my car they tar and chipped pretty much every road leading into work. Those advans were bad when it came to zinging rocks, I can only imagine what the RE01Rs are like!!

An evo VIII exhaust will work on a IX, the only thing that wont work is 03-04 downpipes on 05-06 evo's due to the ACD.
So as long as you run the correct dp the rest will fit the same....

Yes it is a great exhaust, i have one myself. It was actually made bye someone in Japan. Probably JIC. Magnaflow just outsourced these exhaust with there name on them. They only sold TI exhaust for 5 cars. They probably made less then 100 for the evo. Magnaflow still just dosn't have the name in the Sport compact market thats the only reason i can figure that these exhaust didn't sell well for them.
