I drive mine in winter with a clear bra so it looks like it has a clear bra. Take a look at the options Friday night. The paint chips easily elsewhere though

Is the clear bra that obvious? I'm planning to winter drive this car.

I keep missing the meetups as I am usually in Montreal or Toronto for the weekend!

IIRC, it varies between 2 1/8" and 2 3/8" depending on where you take the measurement. I have everything after the exhaust manifold/header up in the shed. Let me know where you need the measurement taken, and I'll grab a caliper and measure it for you.

Bra or braless is a personal choice. It is possible to see a bra line on the hood from some angles. Some people can't stand knowing it is there.
A full coverage bra avoids a line on the hood and provides more protection.
The lower front end is protected. Time will tell if chips end up making an outline of the bra to make it stand out.
After two winters, the front end still looks great.

He's right.
Just don't let me near your car if you get it :p

@roddy I just need to know for the flange at the muffler. I'm doing an axle back essentially. I think I'll just measure what I have on it now and order that. If I need more help I'll let you know though!

The O.D. on the pipe before the flange is 2 1/8" and on the muffler side it is 2 3/8". if your pipe is measured by I.D., it would be 2" before and 2 1/4" after the flange.

Thank you very much.


So I guess I'd need to get a 2.5" pipe. My question now becomes will that mess anything up?

I'm thinking either the clear bra or a vinyl wrap (although I'm not sure how well they hold up in the winter).

The bumper looks pretty gross with the rock chips off the truck at the dealer. They're supposed to fix it Monday but I'm worried they won't be able to match the Halo paint well enough to make it look like new.
