Just installed my VMR testpipe...

and this thing is the shit! Seriously it sounds nice fits well. I haven't had any of the issues of it rubbing on anything, and the smell is bearable even though the girl hates it. And while i have this thread going i was searching flea-bay for a new front bumper and came accross this..

What is this Duraflex stuff? Has anyone had any experience with it? And more importantly isn't that 1sicknickel's car?

i love my vmr test pipe too, great sound and gains for the price [up]
it won't smell as much after a few weeks.

my issue was that it was shorter than the cat, so it made the AWE downpipe rest on the cross member, but i put a piece of rubber btwn it, and it's been fine [:D]

^ had the same problem, but we bent the TP with a pipe bending machine (it's good to have friends with nice tools) and everything aligned after that.

Duraflex is the new fiberglass. Much stronger and does not chip and crack as easy. All the japenese tuners have been using this stuff forever with kits. That video on their ebay ad is the same one evryoen shows with the guys standing on the actual front end. Duraflex is the way to go. IMO

That bumper actually looks nice. fitment is always an issue, so try it out and let us know.
I got the testpipe at the same time as the entire exhaust, so I don't know the difference. I do know the smell though. Not bad enough to bother me.

[08lichmanj]

to be honest i like the smell. i was looking into a new cheap bumper since it seems the dealer over tightened mine next to the grill and its cracked. maybe ill try this out

[jimrobbington]

Mine has a big crack under the drivers side fog grille, like the previous owner was bakcing up and tore it on something. I want to replace it with s-line anyway.

dude that is some dark headlight tint. have you been pulled over yet?

[jimrobbington]

Nope, never got pulled over, but got tired of it and stripped it off. Tail lights are black as hell tho, and still never a problem.
