My exhaust tip was cracked also, I took it to the dealership on Thursday, and they ordered me a new one. They didn't hassle me at all. They said it would take atleast a week to come in. I can't wait to hear how it sounds.
There is definitly a lot of Protege's in Canada...Well atleast in the Toronto Area. P5's are extremely popular. I get a lot of attention in my speed also. Partly because its a speed, and partly because it yellow.
