I got jacked!
I am furious and my eyeballs feel like they're gonna pop out of my head if I don't tell someone about my rage!
Late yesterday afternoonI was swapping the stock midpipe out of my car and had placed it on the floor of the open garage next to the replacement (aluminized steel Pypes H-pipe). I needed a break so I went inside to the adjoining kitchen to have a cold brew. An hour and a half later I return to the garage to find the stock midpipe missing! I can't believe my eyes. Cops and neighbors say I'm a ding-dong for leaving my garage open and I probably am. But how did someone make off withthat heavy, unweildy, clanging midpipe while I was in the VERY NEXT ROOM?
I still have my offroad H-pipe thoughI'd like to have my originalmidpipe if I need to go back to stock at some point in the future. Can anyone help a brother out and suggest a vendor or forum member from whom I could get a reasonably priced new take-off midpipe?

RE: I got jacked!
Yeah,the officer I spoke with asked if I knew who helped themselves to my midpipe and I said "no" but I agree it was most easily perfomed by someone nearby with alot of storage space. And the thing that gets me is the daring nature of the theft and that whoever it is is watching carefully enough to (relatively) quickly capitalize on moments when my guard is down.
Anyway,so no advice on where to obtain a replacement stock midpipe?

RE: I got jacked!
Funny...cant belive it..
****, could be worse, at least they left the off road behind.
The way I see it, in a few years you be able to pick up the stock mid pipe anywhere.
For now, try a board member but you best bet would be the Junk yard...Im sure there are
plenty of wrecked cars out there...
matter of fact someone on here just totalled there car, ask him for his.

RE: I got jacked!
Sorry to hear this, but seriously what are the odd's that someone actually knew what they were taking in this case. I think it's just some crackhead gonna take it to a scrap yard and sell it for $5.00. Be thankful they didn't take the new one. BTW my Rottweiler wouldn't let something like that happen to me
