That's what I'm saying, with all the hardware I'm going to be about $3k in it.

IMO its worth the extra money especailly if you plan on building up your car more over time but hey its like they say you gotta pay top dollar for top quality.

I wouldn't

shelf life on these cars isn't that long to be truthful. I live in pittsburgh, pa where we salt roads when it rains and get a solid amount of snow. I run aluminized on my truck and really don't have that much of a problem. If stainless was REALLY worth the extra cost, every car on the road would have a FULL stainless exhaust, but they don't

my car.......well that doesn't have an exhaust...per say

Thanks for the replies. Gonna probably take my car up there and get an exact quote, but yeah...I think I might go just the aluminized.

Question though...if I go 2.5", will it be more cost effective and would I have to get the panhard relocation kit (or do you have to do that for any true duals?)?

You guys who want true duals on 4th Gens that aren't majorly modded motors are truly wasting your money. You won't get much if any better performance, and you'd be better off putting a Fays 2 Watts Link in place of your Panhard bar instead -- now THAT you would notice!

Please, I've heard your spiel about handling, and honestly don't give a **** about it. Much rather do performance mods, and if something in the handling ****s out on me or I need something to stiffen it, I'll replace it then. I say you're wasting your money on $1k shocks. I'm spending money on something to give me a proven performance upgrade as well as a beautiful sound, which is what I'm going for.
