YIKES.  I just ran the numbers for a full exhaust system (aluminized
steel), and I managed to get everything from the manifold flange to the
tailpipe (except for the cat) for under $200.  I could have done it in
stainless for about $350.  That's U-Weld-It, though, which I can handle;
some people can't.

I wanna' see, too.

I could *so* cope with only 200 bhp.  I know I'd want more, but that'd
at least keep me running with the other 2700-lb+, 200-hp- cars on the
road...

That's one point I disagree on, but I'm just a kid with nothing better
to do with my time than fiddle with the Scramble button until I have the
boost maps absolutely maxed-out. :)

Now now, play nicely. :^)
