[s-cars] exhausts

[Harold McComas]

Mr. Limburger-man,   ;)

Just to give you another price point, there is an Lovefab exhaust for my 4Mo 
Passat that runs $1400, also turbo back. Other than that there are ZERO off 
the shelf options for my particular car. Subie WRX boys can spend $1200 +/- 
on a turbo back.  Most times when I see a $600-ish exhaust it is CAT-back 
only .

As the prices on the ur-S' decline, you really have to love the car to start 
putting $ 1k wheels,$1k brake kit, $1k intercooler, $2-3k turbo upgrade, 
etc, etc onto the car. When I had mine it was a daily driver, so I budgeted 
one mod or two a year in addition to regular maintenance, to make it 
affordable.
