About $600 will see a set of 4480's, which are comp extractors. I run the former on my AU XR6, and I cant see how people justify the extra $200 and the painstaking effort to find a heatshield, for what, 1fwkw and 1 nm of torque when running the 4480 comps. They look f**k ugly too, the 4499's look pretty normal and the factory heatshield should fit over them but I dont remember if EL's had the bendable steel heatshield or the solid steel ones like eb and such.

Sell it and buy something knewer when u get ur license back, silly spending money on it just sitting there and depreciating.
BF's will be cheap by then for sure.

I disagree with all you nay sayers. If it was a piece of s**t then yeah by all means sell it. But having less than 100K on it, I say keep it. What are they worth now, 4 or 5K, s**t why even bother selling it.

i think it depends on how much you love your car..... of course it will depleat in value all cars do but if you truly love your car youll keep it, and if you have 4 years to work on a car thats just sitting there id broaden my horizon and think full rebuild, maybe upgrade your bottom end. its amazing what you could do in 4 years with no rego or petrol to buy...
