Well, Melville Brakes and Exhaust is $200 richer. However, check out the lushness!
They replaced the flex pipe with one of an appropriate size, and touched up some of the welds along the way that were starting to rust. It sounds so much better now! There is far more bark in the note, and it is a fair bit louder too. The only downside is that I've lost the po-POP-CRACKLE-plup when running down from 2500-1500 rpm. Oh well.
Just the steering hose, splash guard and rad mounts to go now.
Also, I spied some 4-1s at the exhaust shop. They are made by hurricane headers, so they don't have the beautiful stainless finish of tubular items, buuut they are only $200 and 10 minutes away. It sure beats messing around with ordering megan racing items with questionable fitment
*EDIT* I just realised that there isn't a two-post spacing between my replies, my bad.

Slightly funny post on local craigslist: http://rochester.craigslist.org/cto/2821283204.html
Haha! I thought they came like that straight from the factory? I remember seeing an ad for a Dodge Caravan in the local craigslist and they posted a pic of some gangster wannabe looking dude holding a gun posing next to the minivan. I was like, WTF?!

*yawn*
Are we there yet!? lol.
On a serious note, I got rear-ended the other day because some Asian guy driving a Toyota didn't know how to look before changing lanes. I need a new bumper now :/

^^That sucks.
I have good news though. My rims arrived.
Now I just need this snow to disappear.
I got them from Joseph at www.wheelexecutives.com Amazing customer service.

That really sucks. If that happened to me, I would get the M&S Carart Rear Bumper. Today I was driving in a left turn lane and this chick in a Jetta (I know, say no more) next to me veers right into me. I slammed on my brakes and honked my horn and luckily she realizes before it's too late. It was so close I saw my Gencoupe's entire life flash before me. The dumb b*tch didn't bother checking her blindspot. What's wrong with people?!?!
