send that VC out to get it powdercoated if you can cuz 99.9% chance that its going to leak oil > [@Hooked on 240](#): > > how much for all that to my house. i was just looking for mandrel bent tube. BASIC. as i dont want to spend money on the car where its not really needed. downpipe is 115 and testpipe is around 30 bucks and ebay exhausts are in the mid 100s. so id be looking at 300 for everything with the muffler ---
