    Question for buying out of state vehicles...

    When you purchase a vehicle out of state, im assuming that the dealer pays the tax on the purchase based on the tax rate where you live and tacks it onto the purchase price? Or am i responsible for paying the tax on it after i get the vehicle back to Ohio?

The 2.5" has the small vents in the back, while the 6" is all open in the back. Do you guys think that this...
