I dont go into the city that much because i am two hours away...and i never really have a reason to go up there but if people want to start meeting up i would be willing to make the drive up there, also stlrx8 do you know a bunch of people with different exhausts because i am in the market for one right now and i would like to hear some in person, the only one i have heard in person is the greddy sp2.

I haven't heard anybodys but my flowmax. I think there are several different types in the STL area, but it seems, with this forum, its slow in the winter. Not much traffic, Why?
I knew I wanted exhaust, couldn't afford to buy new. Thats why as soon as I saw a used one with a trusted name, that was close enough for pick up, I went for it. I know I rolled the dice and took a chance, but I scored. It looks good and sounds good. The 4 inch tips are great. Its quiet enough for daily driving and when you get on it....hope there aren't any cops within two blocks.
I'm going to search and see if there is a good exhaust threads.

Dude, I was just bored at work and needed something to kill some time. I got side tracked off exhaust and got onto the flooding problem our engines have. There is lots of info on this forum.

Hey LoudxB....STLRX8 and I have been trading PM's. Sounds like we'll be there on the 26th. I've also included Streettuner08 on our PM's and am waiting to see if he will be meeting with STLRX8 to cruise in together.

I will post pics soon. My friends have them.
IF I keep the dead car for parts the STL area will of course get dibs. And first pm's will get first choice.
Questions is...How much are they going to charge me to keep the car? And will parting it out be worth the $$.
I am 100% keeping the exhaust. Flowmax. It sounded soooo sweet.
Another question my friends is what to get next....sad to say it wont be an 8.

I was in limbo whether ot sell it or not. 14mpg was killing me. I just got a job that pays less. I just bought 50% of my brothers large format printing company. So I am going to get something little less $$$. Plus my 8 was loaded with every option. Cant find one just like it for the cash I paid for it.
Cold pavement, cold tires, lost tail for a second hit a curb/bridge imbankment, on driver door. went over it and lid into a parking lot. Pics soon, my friends havent sent them yet.

I hate to say it STLRX8....but I don't think the ice/slickness you hit was the cause to this accident. It was all based on the factor that the car was angry at you for actually running a front license plate. Yeah, that's it. Glad to hear you came out all right.
