I know, I don't like the 2 peice cause I am not feeling the dust or water that gets in the fender. I got it from a local shop. It is a Vibrant 3" 45degree pipe. Cost about 65$ CAD with couplers.

So you ordered a ZE and got a DE?

What you pay for it?

Well it is not really a DE or ZE, kinda a halfbreed :P I got my motor from JDM source, but I am tired of those guys so I do not recommend them fully at this time. There are not many importers from BC, but I know there is one or two in the Vancouver area. Shoot me a PM and I can help you out.

Update today on April 8th. I got some new MTEC bulbs from a buddy for my brithday. I had them in for about 3 days and then one morning they stopped working. I was wondering, wtf?! So long story short, the bulb blew up in my housing! WTH, so I ended up having to take the damn light housings out and cleaing it, but there was a film left inside... I had to bake noth lights and clean them both inside to make it look even. Here are some pics. I hope this never happens to you! I spent 2 days doing this.

Thanks for the comments. If there was a 1/4m around I would proly run it. Anyways, the couplers are just vibrant couplers IIRC. There is 3" ones and one that is 3-2.5". They strech well so they work good for pipes that are abit bigger.
