Jim do you deal with Canadians. I'm gonna have to do my uppipes soon and shipping is always the killer. I'm close to the border so I can always go across plus I think I can get my grubbies on a spare set for the core. It's either that or I run to bd and see if they can get a set in for me
Wow.that's a good deal.I sure wouldn't do it for that in a million years. Glad you are having good luck with it! Maybe someday I'll get mine together..

Just to be clear,that price was for install only. And Southern CA isn't "outrageous". Gas prices are the same by a few cents and other needs/amenities are about the same. I spent a year in Texas and the only thing that was cheaper was buying a home. Food, fuel, living, etc were all comparable. 10-15 years ago, that may have been true, but inflation is a global problem, not just a CA problem. Yeah, I love my state and my home, as broke as they may be....but other states aren't far behind.

Things must have changed. When I first got married I was stationed at El Toro and our dink 1 bedroom crappy apartment in Tustin area was $740.00 a month. Same place where I grew up in NY would have only been $350.00 a month. Other than that, fuel was 30 cents more a gallon. We didnt notice much other price difference except for when I was coming up on my initial EAS we considered staying in Irvine area and looked at some condos and townhouses. Ragged out gutted ones where $70,000+ and I couldn't afford that so I re-up'd. That was back in 1994.

Yeah, so '94 would be 20 years ago. Sounds about right. It used to be that fuel was almost 50-60% more here, but that slowly began to change about 7-8 years ago. It's a little more pricey here, but nothin that breaks the bank. For example, when I registered my Dodge a few years ago, it was 300 bucks. Went to Texas and had to reregister. I got all excited thinking it would be 60 bucks or so...nope...290 bills. Anyway....
