RE: exhaust
Mike, how do you get a greater sense of accomplishment? Isn't the point the same, it's just the level that you start at initially and the input $ that you start at? I race any one and everyone, not just the cars that are supposedly better than me if that's what you meant by my friend and his SXT. I raced a MR2 the other day that almost beat me, but my SRT is bone stock, and I had falkens that would only spin. The point is the same at whatever level you start at, just how fast you get to the numbers you are looking for and the car you want to do it in. I know my motor will go 300 HP + on stock internals and stock trans, but my friends porche turbo comes 450+ from the factory and will go 550+ with a ECU reflash. I paid ~$10,000 for my 05 while he paid $60,000. He got more of a car than I did, but if he gets to 700 HP out of his car, it's the same feeling as if I get to 450 HP in mine. We all want the same thing, again it's just the level you want to start at. Do not hate us because we chose a different level than you did. There is no more accomplishment modding one car over another, unless the mod doesn't work, but that's a different story. I have no problem with SXT's looking like SRT's but there is no more accomplishment out of modding one car drastically vs the other.

Well, I DO HAVE A STOCK SRT-4 EXHAUST FOR SALE. It's sitting in my garage. If you live anywhere near San Antonio, Texas, drive by and you can have it for $75. The exhaust has about 300-400 miles on it.......

from a different thread but seems to fit the drama here:

i just like to respect various cars for what they are. each having their pros and cons. just not crazy aboutsaying that acertain car sucks for whatever reason, completley ignoring its strengths. and yes,k subaru has its strengths but obiously i chose otherwise. didnt see spending the extra on an STI, would have been a much higher car payment. not to mention i have always liked the neon. owning both an 01SE and 04SXT (which i still have) before getting the SRT4
and no, im not one of the yahoos who thinks that their srt can beat anything on the road. i know a stock STI would rip me clean any day of the week (as long as the driver didnt suck *****). i do like to pick on my coworker who has a mustang GT though. but we have respect for each other's cars. he admits neons arent a joke, as he got walked on by an SRT4 the other day. but a few mods and he would walk me. if your a trueautomotive enthusiast, as stated above, you respect different cars for what they are and what they were designed to do.

Well put flaming! I happen to like the fact that people with SXTs will buy my stock parts off me after I have upgraded them. I've sold my stock rims and exhaust to the same guy who has an SXT. He enjoys the parts, and i enjoy his money and the extra space in my garage. If I had an SXT I would most definately use SRT parts. Why not? Most of them bolt right on. The only downside would be if someone was racing their SXT under the assumption that it was an SRT giving the person who won some bragging rights. But even then who cares? Put that same guy up against an actualSRT. As long as the SXT'ers don't put SRT badges on there rides, I have no beef. Pisses me off when I see people with G35's that have put Skyline badges on and the such.....
