Hi...mind if I cut in...cutting in anyways for your own good. Techtonics makes
both a conventional aluminum and stainless steel exhaust. The stainless steel
unit includes a Dynomax Ultraflo stainless steel muffler...do it right, do it
once and go with the stainless steel.

The aluminum one lasted almost 1 year in Ottawa (salt capital of the world).
Called Daryl V who not only honored the Techtonics warranty all the way up
here in the Great White North, but also gave me a deal on the identical 
stainless steel system.

The only negative comment is that the exhaust tip is not as cool looking
as the hot oval or mega large openings of other brands you see on the back 
page of European Car magazine.

Not only am I satisfied with Techtonics expertise and professionalism,
but also very happy with the quality and improved performance of their
stainless steel exhaust (US$@450-500) and European dual outlet manifold 
(US$150). 

You can order the parts directly from Techtonics and have them delivered 
by United Parcel Service right to your door. Techtonics will arrange this
for you. Yup the stuff goes through customs and you pay duty and GST but,
you are a taxpayer and this handling is done for you by our friendly 
government Customs staff. You simply pay these charges when the goods
arrive. Anyhow, price it out...the TT dudes are very helpful from my
experience. You'll find their number in European Car magazine. Ask for 
their "Parts to get, Parts to forget" catalogue, you will begin to loose
sleep dreaming of quality upgrades and you'll never be the same again!
