Yeah that's why I went with geico there site recognized the vin plus only 99 bucks for the year. State farm can be slow with updating their system and they will just cancel it without notice. But State farm is cheap on home and car insurance if you bundle.

Does it need heat shielding for the exhaust?

Well after getting nowhere trying to beat it out I got my plasma cutter and made a door then reached in and pulled it all out folded it over and welded it back up. Sounds beefier without it

I remember someone here a few years back had an in-pipe cat and they were able to access it with a hole saw and cut it out from the end. Turned out clean. Can't remember who but I'll do a search.

my problem was a u-bend on one end and a 45 deg. on the other. oh well....its done now.

If things go right i should have a hundred or so of these mid to late April. Should have my prototype this week.....

Definitely bring your invoice they want that invoice so they can calculate their tax due. Then they look at you funny and say is this all you paid, is this correct are you lying to us , trying to get out of paying your fair share (whatever that means) so to speak?

mjstef · 03-29-2016, 07:23 PM

What's this "tax" you speak of????

Ron B · 03-29-2016, 07:57 PM

sales tax on out of state vehicle purchase. 3.5 percent. about $49.00 ....of course they said I would get an email with a tracking number this afternoon for the MSO...needless to say I didn't get it.
