Thanks Bryant. Slater helped me find a BNIB Vibrant 1148 locally at a good price, which I will hopefully pick up this weekend. Looking forward to some exhaust 'vroom' :)
Sounds good. I was just going by what Bryant and bosszhp went with. Oh and hopefully I will have a 1148 by this weekend as well :)
1148 is what most people here got and that is the link you posted above.
