I got the Energy Hyperflex polyeurathane complete bushing kit http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1∂=ENS%2D16%2D18110G&a mp;N=700+400008+4294907813+4294924744+4294907812+4 294865789+115&autoview=sku

Which as you see on Summit's site retails for $144.99. I managed to get this exact same kit on ebay for $75 + $15 s/h.


And on another note, I'm sort of pissed now. I just got an email from the place that I ordered my megan cat back exhaust from and they just now realized after I ordered it almost a week ago that it was on backorder. They gave me the option of canceling my order and gettting a full refund or having one sent directing from Megan Racing. I decided that it would be absolutely stupid to cancel and order from somewhere else since they were the best price that I found AND I would still have to wait about another 2 weeks even if I did order it from somewhere else.[:@][&o]

I need to get my frigging car back on the road! I some tired of driving my mom's gas guzzler.[:'(]

Trust me I feel your pain about driving a gas guzzler, I replaced my intake manifold on my civic and the clutch, it was down and out for a week becasue school and work dont agree with me working on my car time wise. SO I was driving my 79 camaro yeh baby 6mpg For the f'ing lose. On a side note I already am looking at puttin a TPI motor in it getting me around 300+ horsepower and 25ish MPG in the camaro.

Oh and I ahve noticed companies are bad about leaving out the fact of when something is on backorder til you start asking about where your item is

Consider yourselves lucky... My car has been down for 3 weeks and there is no end in sight for me right now. I'm drivingan 01 impala, there is just something wrong with a 3.8L that only makes 180hp when a 2.2L honda engine makes 220...

Are you installing this stuff yourself or having a shop install it?

ha!You and I are the impala twins right now. My mom's is a 2000 though. I plan on installing my exhaust myself with a little help from my dad. I don't like having to go to shops for anything unless its absolutly neccessary.
