Heck, I even sold the Monte SS because I knew I'd be driving the GTP every time now.

I salute the Monte.

Hm, will have to look at that too. Since that downpipe was put in last May I'd think it'd still be good but never know. It's really weird though, has never really gotten loud in the front, only the hiss I could never hear until it was pointed out. And since I feel like I noticed the noise start around last Feb when I got the rack replaced, BEFORE I got the downpipe replaced, you'd think it's coming from elsewhere... (well me I'm convinced it has to do with the rack lmao because it started afterwards and like I said for a week after new inners it felt perfect)

So what would be the range of symptoms I could expect from a leaking rack, then? Besides fluid in the boots I guess. I haven't really noticed my steering get all that much tighter but that might be because the magnasteer works now with rebuilt ABS module (thanks again to Cheap-ABS )
