Wow, is right! I just looked at my receipt. I paid $160.00 on January 27, 2011. What could possibly make a low use small sales item like that go up $60.00 in two years?

Well, $50 dollars in 6 years is better than $60 in two years! Can't believe somebody actually asked how to fill it! That was good for a laugh. Almost as good as Obamacare!

Threads like this are the best publicity you can get, I hadn't sold a complete set in at least 2 months and because of this thread I sold one yesterday, thanks guys

'stock ear mod' - do tell... is this the mounting tab?
Clearly shown in this Right of Passage picture!
No, the Fabspeed downpipe does not have the factory tab, and they do not offer it. I personally see no real need for it. Looks like Mbuddha had Tim at SFR weld one up for him.
Yup. Originally, I got the whole Fabspeed turbo back which included the DP but I believe it's not a true 3", more like 2.75? and somehow it doesn't bolt up properly. Maybe it was the not bolting up to the test pipe that I also got from Fabspeed and/or the other end not mating to the powerhaus hotside, who knows. I just wanted everything to fit properly and so "reluctantly", my shop recommended SFR and also recommended the stock "ear" for extra bracing for my 3L build. So that's how it went down and it took SFR like 3 months and numerous emails to finally got the DP---it was a work of art though AND no fitment issues after that and a true 3" system. Is it needed- probably not as many on have run without it. But for an extra benjamin while Tim was fabbing the DP, and my shop buddy recommended it, and for peace of mind---I thought why not? If nothing else, for a big turbo in a high-heat, high stress, vibration and harshness environment, as well as for those that like to use V-clamps in this area, the "ear mod" for extra bracing imo, is a must.

Beautiful, but you really need one more piece under the hood to address a minor distraction - the battery. You can can still get a new, original Porsche battery cover at ECS tuning for less than $10.
