Default Where do you go for parts?

I'm looking at ebay and all that but I was curious where you go for parts. I know I'll need new front and back breaks, a new muffler and tailpipe because the current one broke off, and much more. So I wanted to know where you choose to go for the parts that you need.

I shop around online and my local parts store. Go for the best price. Rock auto, Amazon, eBay, AutoZone, advance auto, etc. depends on what parts you are looking for.

Cheers. I know the biggest thing I'll need is the muffler and tailpipe. Here's what it current looks like. It's loud as hell and is only being held up by a clothes hanger. Only thing is when I check at ebay, this is what I see as the current most affordable. I don't see any gaskets with this though. Does it not require any?

Any ideas on how long filters keep for on the shelf? Would like to get a couple now while I have money for it before I need to do the fluid flush's.

It depends....If there are women and/or children around, I'll go to the bathroom to part. But if no one is around, or I'm with close friends, I just let 'er rip right there and do this kinda flappy thing with my pants to air it out.

20-30 years at least. Filters on the shelf do not go bad. Lol
