research is your friend 111R. you can get a catback exhaust system BOLTS IN!!! from Trubendz for $400!!!!!! takes about 20 minutes to install with a ratchet set that everyone should already have. dont think it would arrive by the weekend. i would get a 2nd opinion on that exhaust situation though, i cant imagine it being that bad.
http://trubendz.com/ forget trueduals or glasspacks or anything like that.
i have stock struts ill sell you for cheap. they only have 25k on them. that guy i told you about can install them for realll cheap compared to a shop. i can also get you a good deal on a set of springs. eibach or h&r.
dont fret having it this weekend. i know it sucks but we'll get something going again real soon. then you can bring it out nice and proper-like
i dont care what kind of a shop is around town, NO one knows these cars like the CEG. you will not find more accurate information on csvt than here. i would
highly suggest you PM stazi regarding your troubles. he is THE authority on these cars and is always willing to help.
