I got one....free! About as cheap as you can get! Let me know if you need it. I may sell my HKS if you want something better sounding than stock. I am thinking about getting a single.

Thanks for everyone's help. I really appreciate the offers and a stock system is now back on my car. Sadly, I'm going to have to report that a local shop did not treat me very well and has left me with a less than amicable situation.

The following shop was very helpful during the sale, but less than willing to back up their words when I wasn't happy with their work. I'm also reporting them to the BBB along with placing their information here, hopefully as a warning to others:

http://www.meineke.net/index.asp?shop=732
Meineke Shop # 732
1524 SPRING HILL ROAD
TYSON CORNER, VA 22102
(703) 556-0804

Not only do they overcharge, but they do not honor their word. They built me a 'custom' exhaust which droned like nothing else I have ever heard, and when I wasn't happy with it, refused to refund my money. I'll admit that it was my fault not to get their 'bring it back' guarantee in writing, but it was poor customer service to refuse to work with me on this.

In any event, I hope this saves at least one of you the hassle that I just went through. Thanks for reading.

Invidia FTW!

Your story does sound Sounds like they're like one of those shops that the news channels investigate.

I cant believe they were dicks about it, well actually I can but I cant believe they told you one thing and acted on another.

I'm glad you were able to find a stock system and I'm sorry I was unable to help

Bastards!
