You could buy the Eastwood Fender Lip Roller from TireRack for $299. and do it yourself. Then you could rent it out to the many other DCAWD (and other) folks who would want to borrow it and maybe make your money back.
(you'll want to use a hair dryer or heat gun to heat-up the paint before you roll your fenders.)

Tony just go to Florida when your on leave and take care of it at any DMV. I would have but my car was still only a couple months old when I tried and they wanted to charge me state sales tax.
Yeah everyone finally a year after Impicked her up I am finally stage 2. She is a bit louder than I would like but the power is great.
Question- Does anyone think I should try a rear sway bar before rolling the fenders? Thinking it may control the body roll enough to keep the rubbing at bay.

I concur.Mr Kleen wrote:if you're rubbing now a sway probably won't help much. I'd roll them AND install a rear sway (and endlinks).Bluestreak2006 wrote:Question- Does anyone think I should try a rear sway bar before rolling the fenders?

So you are w/o a heatshield over the Turbo? Maybe a bolt is loose on the ECU bracket and/or cover? I can't think of anything else that would be making that noise. Maybe the pitch stop is not tight or the A/C lines hitting? I would have to put my face in the engine to see. If it is still doing it by next pseudo-vinny meet, I will take a look at it...unless, you want to come by my house tonight. I shouldn't be too far away from you. PM me.Bluestreak2006 wrote:Didn't reinstall the heatshield. The sounds seem to be coming from the area of the passenger foot well.

That would be my guess too. Check that hanger bolt and see if it has come loose and the pipe now has some movement.complacent wrote:Could it be rubbing against the bracket where DP meets trans case? Ya know, that irritating bolt that had a lip on the bracket where you had to lift the DP up to clear it... ?

Jay, I sent you a PM.Bluestreak2006 wrote:I just went outside during lunch and tightened everything up.
When I drive it home I'll see if it continues. I may well stop by Will. Where are you located?

Alright its seems I have found my problem. About 6 inches down from the cbe dp meetup there is a bracket below the driveshaft. My Exhaust is currently resting on it. I tried to loosen everything up but could not get the clearance I need. So I guess I need some longer exhaust hangers.
Will if you have any let me know. So I can figure out how many I need to order.

No, I don't have any set time to do it. It can certainly wait until you get your hangers in. I was waiting until it warmed up a bit. I hate working on cars in 30 degree weather.Bluestreak2006 wrote:Darren were you planning on swapping the mid pipe this weekend? My hangers won't be in til Tuesday but I can come out and help.
Yes the SPT will bolt-up to a flat flange. I have the Bosal/SPT on my wagon, and it's bolted to an Injen downpipe with a flat flange. If you don't have a 3" gasket, I'm using "Mr. Gasket" between mine and it works very well.Bluestreak2006 wrote:Does anyone know if the SPT catback will bolt up to a flat flange?

Well I ordered a new cat back. Here is the linky.
http://www.meganracing.com/products/pro ... &catid=126
Got it for $370 shipped. I figure i can sell the HKS homologation for a $100-150. I think it looks nice and stock. Should sound abit better also.

I like the look of it. I notice it has a resonator in the intermendiate pipe. I hope that doesn't bite you in the ass as the other resonated pipes did.
You could always grab a bosal single tip for $399 from www.daddysscp.com. Or for $429 shipped from oakos.
Just throwing out options in case the resonator demon rises up again.
