I'm sure if you looked hard enough you can find one even cheaper, or even used.

Here's a front pipe for about $125 Canadian:

Even cheaper resonated pipe:

After getting either or both you'd still have left over for camber bolts, alignment and a drop in filter, I'd think.

My bad! I still had over pipes on my mind!!!!!

Although my point is still valid. With exchange added ($21), duty ($20 min), delivery ($145) and taxes ($35) that "$84" pipe would cost me $305!

You are still falling for the trap that what you pay we pay.
Would you pay $300 for a dubious quality Ebay test pipe purchased from a place named Epartsgogo?

I don't understand how this is even a debate. We pay a shit load more. End of story.

That's why I cant wait for track day coming up in July. Want to see how far I can push the car and myself without being in danger of driving off a mountain side.

Public twisties are fun but too many variables (general public, animals, etc.).

Dayum... I think a nice MIG or TIG welder and some metal fabrication classes is probably a better investment, eh?

LOL! Ya or a quick drive across the border to Detroit. Internals do not show up on the border pictures.

Best bang for your buck for that price?

If you want something still new, but cheaper you can buy from http://www.weirperformance.com/finaldrivegears.html

Do your research though. I believe any higher than 4.556 and you will also need to upgrade the LSD otherwise the 4.556 was a straight drop in.

I'd recommend a local workshop install it for you.

Good plan, there, soulreapersteve.......

I found out, in my MX5, on the gravel portion of Pikes Peak, with no guard rails, that 14,000 feet looked to be a long way down .......

Best to know your and your cars limitations.

(mrs humfrz hasn't been quite the same, since that day ....... )

Theres so much to reply to but since this is a recurring suggestion I have a huge question:

Would this void the warranty? XD
