It's very prices for a pipe and I contemplated for a while before finally saying screw it. It was $145 shipped and it ships out of Canada. The reviews I've read on it from other forums say the pipe has an awesome low to high range power band and the sound is unreal. They say it's a huge difference comparing it to a JP2. Hopefully I get to find out for sure in the next few days as I've been so busy i haven't had time to run the car. The guys website is http://www.extremercmods.com/pipes if you wanna check him out. Nice guy just took forever to receive the pipe

Just received my new tyres today and will try fitting them over the next few nights, never done it before. My only question is without sounding thick, the foam inserts are twice as wide as the tyre so do I need to cut them to size or just massage the whole lot in until it fits ?

I just recently fitted proline roadrages for the first time and I ended up trimming the foam to width.

60mm wide rubber and 90mm wide foam, so far there has been more thinking than doing on this job.

That ent right at all. I'd complain about that. They're more like the foams you get for the 80-90mm tyres ie the shockwaves and trenchers etc.
