wow i go to two meetings and miss a ton of crap.
Paul type-r: I really like the Cobb catback, i think it sounds great and looks great. A couple of things though from what Eric (lithium) experienced. The tip started rusting, odd for stainless, withing a very short time. Also, the downpipe was slightly tapping the oil pan. I would recommend megan DP, perrin or cobb HFC, and cobb or tanabe catback. I also recommend starting from the turbo and working out. You will see the most gains going that way and if you get to a place you like WITHOUT the HFC or catback you wont have to make the investment. Just my $.02
Vegas, nice choice on oil. I love that stuff. did you make sure it said made in germany on the back?
Dex, WTF how is an exhaust a safety violation?

I do know that there aren't grace periods for safety issues...but your sticker said "S & E" for the safety and emissions check. Is it a black R or red R that you have?
Did they fail you for just the exhaust leak? or the windshield, too?
What are you waiting for, with regards to your exhaust? can you and I fix it tonite/this weekend?

The DP bung could be welded on the car...mine was...otherwise, we can just get you some new hardware and cut the TXS off for now...put the stocker on...
Is your leaking gasket at the axle-back joint? or the cat joint? is it a standard 3" gasket with 2 bolt holes? i have 2 more 3" gaskets at my house.
