It's unnecessary to attack a persons finances, specially when we don't know that person or their background. Not everyone who buys an FRS/BRZ is going to modify it. Perhaps he is saving money for a trip, or for school, or to buy his wife a BMW, or get his kids a gift, or get his kids a medical procedure. Keep in mind that unexpected things do happen that lead people to make the choises that they do. The possibilities are endless. If we disagree with another person's mods or choices, we could respectfully say so.
@
ML , don't let people discourage you from your things or your ideas. But I do agree with most people here, it might not be a good idea to do the washer mod, I personally love the sound when I took the muffler off, but I don't trust the exhaust and its temperatures be being trapped underneath my car, (even with a few washers), I would be too afraid of something happening over time. Save up some money and head over to a muffler shop try to get one fabricated, I have read of people spending around $50 for something like this. It doesn't hurt to ask. (I guess it depends on your area too). This is not a PG forum, but I don't think people like being called an asshole.. lol... anyways, I am out.
