Just the pipes- the 'can' is the same (with a bunch of dents and new mounts).

Planning to cut the tips off and have a set of straight pipes made up with the stock tips. I already have a new 323ti rear diffuser with metal heat shield ready to go...

Anyone know any good exhaust shops in CT? I need CLEAN stainless work.

I was going to recommend Jon Volk in the New Haven area but he is no longer doing exhaust work from what I hear.

Contact Brian Iaguessa at JG Technik they have a welder on hand now and they are in Branford CT 06405

I like your car J!m, I wish my Ti's body was in better shape, if I eventually spend serious time on it, my only complaint will be that it isn't original paint, etc. etc.

Good work sir, keep it that way and as you already know, these cars keep getting better and better with age, especially with some of the crap they call cars that are currently being built!!!

Not much of my paint is original at this point either, but it all needs to come off and be redone.

I spun the car out at 10k miles and 90% of the car was repainted at that time, even though the damage was cosmetic and minimal.

I was then backed into in a parking lot, so the hood was replaced and the upper nose was repainted. it has also been egged (clear coat is chipped in an intereating pattern) as well as hit with a golf ball. A couple door dings too.

Still, it loks good from 10 feet or so...

I drive the car so I can't get stressed about it. I do have a regimen and I am asked often what my 'secret' is to keeping the paint nice on a 'daily' driver.
