Test Pipe dilemma.

[08cosmic3]

I want to order a Test Pipe for my Speed 3 but My wife does not like me modding the new car. She does not drive the Speed and will never know I put it on but she will notice the big brown box on the porch. I've thought about having it sent to a friends house but companies will send only to the billing address on the credit card. How do I get the pipe? There has to be other guys out there that have had this problem. Any suggestions?

you dont think she'll notice how much louder it is?

With only the Test pipe and stock everything else I don't expect it to be louder. I heard a clip before and after on Youtube and it was deeper but not louder. I could be wrong though.

It'll be deeper at idle and a tad bit louder when you romp on it. Maybe she'll notice...maybe she won't. lol... make sure you think about the consequences if she finds out.
Love my tp.
Good luck!

Mine didn't notice and she usually notices everything. I think you're safe. Can't you get a friend or co-worker to order it and pay them back?

Don't hide it from her. Tell her your getting it and thats it. Argue that she gets to go clothes shopping and make-up and other useless junk. Or take her out to dinner to smooth things over. But don't hide it because she will flip. Trust me. If you have extra money, what does she care.

Cars are my hobby and my wife knows that. As long as I keep her happy and it doesn't get in the way of her and us time, she's cool with it. I figured out how to walk that fine line.

 

[phillyb]

he didn't want mine...so anyone else who wants to help this cat out, by all means...try and do so.
the option to have a co-worker/friend get it for you and pay them back is a good option. honestly, the person above me has the best advice. just tell her, if she finds out you lied or hid something from her, she probably will flip the **** out

i spend money on my car, not my gf and every now and then she gets testy, but i tell her to shut the **** up and we're ok.

when i was married, it was a different ******* story. i didn't spend money unless the other party knew what it was for and approved

In a situation like that, you do it first and ask for forgiveness after the fact. This way you get what you want with as little bitching as possible.

Or you just get a Mailboxes Etc. mailbox and have all your non-wife approved parts / porn sent there.

 

[souper]

Everytime I order parts I have them sent to my work, no problem. My billing address is my home.... so you shouldn't have a problem.

At times like this I think back to when a older married told me, "Son, its easier to apologize then to ask for permission"

 

[aaronc7]

i think you should just buy my test pipe in the FS section and get it over with

Wait until your wife is fast asleep, sneak downstairs, open her purse, and take your balls back.
