Because it.... works?

On a lighter note, I took the car to a "Race shop" where they build "race cars". Asked the guy to look at my rubo mani, he called my car gay for a while, then looked under the hood and told me he didnt want my business. O0

I think thats the only true meter of how HMT your kit is. Still look for someone besides meineki to do it, they want ~100$ for ~23 seconds of work.

I would be more concerned about WHY it cracked and how to PREVENT it from cracking.
Do you have a flex pipe?
Did you wet or hose your engine after it was very hot?
Do you drive over very bumpy roads?
Did you bottom out and hit the ehhaust?
BTW what did Josh say?
Have you contacted him?
???

YEa josh, totally not your fault. I cant afford much of anything with my college payments getting setup right now (this month) and I work every day + school so I can't get rides or anything. Life is funny.
Anywyas, yea, I'll give Chris a call, no HMT guys closer then him apparently.

And I have a flex pipe, I do not bottom out, my mounts are solid with either windo weld or inserts or both, everything is bolted tight and there is good clearance aroudn everything.

I assume it's my luck, I generally get the odder problems. Too bad I don't have a mig or a straight friend who owns one. :-\
