CV problem?
Take a look at the pictures below -
found this on both sides, just inside/behind the front wheel wells, and as I am scheduled for 2yr/30k service next week, would like any feedback to counter dealer's anticipated "we'll take a look", and"this is normal" responses.
The grease stalactites dangling from the undercarriage seem to have come from the Inner CV joint, but the CV boot does not seem to be compromised. I don't see how any part ejecting this much grease could be normal. Also, a thunking sound in the front end over slight bumps makes me think otherwise.

stock chip to K04's in one big jump?
I'll hear the "Woo-hoo!" all the way out in California. Are you sticking with stock exhaust when you get all this done? Are you replacing the timing belt, water pump, and everything, or leaving that alone?
