So will someone hurry up and be the first one to try Kyle's new exhaust for
the 2.1? My mechanic said I will need a new exhaust system by spring and
that it will cost around $1500! A quick look at Kyle's prices shows quite
a savings.
Maybe everyone can put in $10 and buy a test set for... uummm... Malcom.
He should give us a complete report! ;)
