(previously reported to the city). if they even respond they might go as far as to mesure the ride hight of your car who knows. i just woulnd count on getting anything back. its a shame but to hard to prove

They sure as hell better pay up, its their fault for leaving the road in that condition! If you looked thru the thread, I have pictures and proof. I know when and where it happened. There is already a claim in progress.

The black stuff is just high temperature paint to give it a nice smooth finish. I've never really had problems with my dp/exhaust melting things.

well i wouldn't figure you would, it looks great. Exhaust piping near the engine get so ugle so fast.

As for the gas temperatures i'm sure having the second turbo two more cylinders and the wrap did more than just the spray.

It does look good however, good luck with the city. Kick their ***.
