Didn't ask any questions what so ever.... good guy to deal with. Not looking forward to the install as it's a PITA.

Joe!!!!!!!! CAN I GET MORE INFO ON THIS?? Can you take photos of the crack???

That's complete wack man....50% off? Its not like you did ANYthing to crack them....its a faulty weld on their part.

I'll take a pic of the crack when I get them off the car it's down on the ground right now. It does suck that it cracked but the version of the TP that I have now was a prototype and the new design is supposedly better. Here's what mine look like compared to the newer style on their website. I still think 50% off is fair as it's not through the weld.... it's through the actual pipe. It very well could have been started from scraping on something... who knows.

The cat is rattling when I start up and I can hear it sometime when accelerating. the CEL light is on because of it. It kills the gas mileage too.

Wow exactly I hope things turn for the better for your car Bruce.

Off topic: Does anyone locally run staggered wheels on their AWD setup?

Well at least now I have an excuse to get test pipes of HFC's. I'll probably just get test pipes for now since I have been dropping so much money on the wedding. I have been eyeing up some Berks...
