I have ARP 45mm studs and 3 of them broke eventually, I hope these are strong for $8.

They are in the head to attach the turbo mani, I have an (SLS I believe) catless midpipe with a flex section in it.
AutoX yesterday. First time I've had the white MSP out since I just got her back running last Friday. Now I just need some throttle control whem coming out of the slow corners because the front wheel just want to spin. Nothing like freeing up some load with no A/C, no power steering, light weight pulleys, and a Fidanza flywheel. Wish I had money to get it tuned now.
Just a heads up, I might bail on the pope manifold and downpipe I've paid for in full already.
Manifold looks like a solid design but the longer I have the money tied up on that the less and less I want to bother moding the msp. Might just chuck a thunder in it and keep it alive with basic maint. Too many cops around here to really enjoy it.
If someone wanted my pope order you would get a downpipe and manifold for his origonal preorder price of $900 for the pair. He wants $600 now for manifolds so its a deal kinda.
Nothing wrong with pope stuff. I hear his quality is excellent I'm just starting to care less and less about the msp.

Depends where on the island. My neighboorhood is quite posh so cops like everywhere. People prob call the cops before actually going next door to ask you to turn s*** down.
I'm not definite about getting out of pope but there are other things I could put the money into.
Working on my mx3 I've realized mechanic work is not a high priority for me atm.
I also can forsee aircare coming to the island and the.msp being illegal by 2020. Would be silly to spend big money on it.
Ps. Ill definitely offer the downpipe for sale. I think I paid $425 all in? He can ship that to you right away as I think he made it already. I was just wiaiting on manifold.

I am in need of a mani but I can't swing $1k, I would guess most 10 year old protege owners are in a similar situation.
Its fast approaching steedspeed pricing. I was happy with the original manifold mockup but it went all messy. I'm sure ill be happy with the finished result but bleh.
Can't even use the new downpipe without new exhaust and I don't really want the car to be much louder than it is.
Bleh. I guess the easy solution to current needs is just to work more lol.

#2187 didn't last long on CraigsList. 3 days and the first person to look at it gave me a deposit. Maybe I should have asked for more money 
Full payment tomorrow and hopefully delivering it this weekend or they'll pick it up Monday. It's been a long run #2187, but it's time for #590 to have my full attention.
