Didn't read the thread, but if it's aluminized, a good idea would be to pick up a few cans of 500* heat paint (or header paint) and spray the pipes while they are clean.

It can be done without a doubt!
DP Tuner $450
Exhaust $400
6637 $35
VB $250??? (ITP, this is the only thing I paid full price for)
Gauges $120
OBA $45
All the normal mods for $1300, not even close to 2k.
CCV $10 (There were a lot of work "donated" materials )
In Tanks $35
Bilsteins $228
Power Stops $265
Hawk Pads $150
Now I am at $1989...but still not to 2 large!!! I guess I can run to the car wash to put it over the top!




Just be patient. Remember, the FTE classifieds are your friend. Do a little of and save a lot of $
