they actually said if they show'd uncorrected it would be even more HP

FYI Walpole Mitsubishi only gives a 10% discount now on parts.

They gave me attitude when i asked for a quote! and then i asked for a discount and they said only 10%. Which is fine, cause i usually go to westboro anyway. They quoted me $400+ on an exhaust pipe, while westboro quoted me 200+.... something's a little fishy.

its for a DSM. my mom's 99 GSX Automatic. it has some issues, we keep getting an o2 issue. replaced the o2 and the issue went away for about 6 months, and now its back. the dealer is trying to say its not the sensor but a million other issues.

anyway - were going to replace the flex pipe on the exhaust.

its weird how a 25% goes from $400 to $200 though...

Ya that was

As for exhaust loudness, I can't say the cop was wrong about the car being loud. My car is loud. I can't deny that. Heck, I think of all the Evos I have heard (excluding all out race cars), mine has got to be the loudest...and I'm not the only one that thinks that apparently

But the way today went down was like.."oh hey..look...let me bother this guy minding his business..oh wait..he isn't doing anything wrong..ah screw it..I'll just find something when I get my goofy looking *** out of the car.."

MR Turco i would assume since that blonde girl and presumably you with her saw me last night. Maybe you could confirm that was you by telling me what color bike helmet was in my left hand. I was on the way out the door and heard the evo on the way down the stairs both people looked back. I was about to say nice evo and then she went inside.
