    So i've been waiting for this ups guy to deliver my pypes o/r xpipe all damn day,they give you a very broad time frame originally between 9am-7pm for delivery and i go to get some food and drop off money at the bank...was gone for 45minutes and my wife left for 10 to run and grab some bread real quick and they showed up in the 10 minutes my wife was gone,left a nice little sticky note saying they would drop it off tomorrow between 1030-2...at least it is the next day and a smaller timeframe

    If you live near a UPS warehouse like I do, you can call the 800 number on the slip and have it dropped off at the warehouse at the end of the driver's shift. You can then go there, show them the slip, and pick it up directly. :nice:

    It's a rule...I think they hide down the street to see if you'll leave.

    I had this happen to me last summer when I was waiting for my Cobra brakes for my 67. Mine was USPS and not UPS, but I chased the guy down on his route about 1 mile from my house. I think he was convinced I was nuts, but I gave him my slip, and he gave me my boxes!

    Typical Marine. Did so bad at Geography that he can't tell that there's no desert anywhere near Granite City, Illinois...:nonono:

    Desert has a different meaning to those who live on the east coast. Us on the west coast consider illinois and such like a forest area, too many tree's. I'll take my sandy highways any day. Although weekend drives through the mountains are nice. Ok enough rambling.

    Im lucky in this respect. My local UPS driver delivers to my work also. He knows me, and Ill give him a heads up when I have something coming. Hell drop it off to me at work. It saves me the hassle, and him a stop in the afternoon. Win-win in our book.

    Just buy some bolts, nuts, and washers to use for connecting the midpipe to the catback. Lowe's, Home Depot, or any hardward store(ACE) will have stuff that will work. Try to get some decent grade 8 bolts so they will not rust. Pretty sure the ones I used are about 4" long.
