[s-cars] Pop Goes the Michelin Man

[Robert Myers]

Oh - I see (Duh).  A recently replaced Aluminum crossover pipe from an FMIC 
install for an S4 might be in someone's garage and available.  (I can be 
kinda slow sometimes, Fred.  I didn't even know that they were Aluminum in 
the S4s.)

Anybody have one they wouldn't mind parting with?  Beuller?
