Fab some of my own? lol how do I go about doing that Ruiz? Where do I get the shafts that go down to the plugs?
I was looking into NGK because of how everybody swars by them, but I think I might get the Densos because of their OEM look.

lol couldnt you just read the thread Ruiz?! Cmon man!!!
jp, when I was putting on the coilovers I noticed that the car had been hit hard (i assume) and the whole front drivers side part of the frame has been replaced, although the work appears to have been done very well. Then theres the small-but-all-the-way-through rust spots in the floorboard, then theres the collision damage to the rear quarter panel. The chassis still feels solid though, and everything is still straight, so we'll see. If I can find a good rust-free chassis I'll get it.

well dude, if your not gonna be doing Tokyo Drift with the car, I don't see it being a huge deal. As long as the work looks solid and the car still feels sexy its all good.
Lawlz sorry I didn't read I was looking for pix to show damage and all I seen was that smashed rear........over fenders and custom American Racing Wheels time!

FedEx came today.
Out with the old
Look at those weak *** bends. It goes down to like a 1.5 inch opening. Thumb shown for reference.
Comparison of size.
After much cutting and drilling of the rusty *** cat, it's in. It clangs a little bit. It will have to be looked at tomorrow.

Daniel, I'll trade you an exhaust and cf hood for your car. 
It's just some weak *** Ebay special exhaust. I couldn't turn down 200 dollars shipped for a non-mechaincal part when even the MR one comes close to or passes 400 bucks after shipping though. I was surprised though, it fit real well, like it didn't even come from China. The quality is really good, I can tell just by looking at it. Theres some crazy lookin silencer in there though that I'll probably take out though. I just wish canister was smaller.
