Were these just the OEM replacements?

I could not have used the bar without the relocation portion, the reservoir is in the way.

Luckily I found one used locally, otherwise it can be pretty pricey!

The advantage of living in Cali or the US in general.
No chance in hell could one ever find that local here in Toronto

The exhaust sounds amazing and I love the look of your car.

You would be surprised, alot of JDM parts make it up to Toronto and Canada. I have friends in other platforms and the tuning scene in some areas is robust. I would suggest making a WTB in your regional subforum and who knows someone might have something

Your other option is going custom which is actually pretty reasonable cost-wise

Come to Alberta, land of trucks! You'll never see small car parts for sale in your area again...

As for the Mugen exhaust, I can see the appeal, but its too raspy for me. If I were building a GE for track-only purposes, it would be my first choice, though.

Hum... I blew up my car... Or, at least the clutch (I think).

You hear a lot of vroom vroom... But you ain't seeing any zoom zoom... NONE.

You also hear clunking, even in neutral.
