[Shotimes] ShoShop's equal lenght Y-pipe

[Carl Prochilo]

I still remember when Vadim floated the idea of starting his own
business back in the 90s back on Prodigy Classic, and enjoyed
reading his initial guidelog of all the parts that could be bought
to enhance the SHO.

I have personally bought stuff from them successfully, and the used
95 I have has a good deal of hardware from ShoShop.  In fact the
whole exhaust system is from them and works perfectly and is still
in great shape.

OTOH, if I had an experience where someone took my money and didn't
provide the product, I would be pissed too.  Just never happened to
me.  People tend to vote with their wallets.  As someone said
earlier, Joshua Teixeira is an absolute pleasure to deal with.
