Thank you! I'm extremely happy it came out the way I envisioned. Was kind of hard since it seems like all of the other cars that go with this style exhaust have exhaust cutouts in their bumper or aero bumpers to add to the effect or the company makes the full exhaust for them so the exit is already "chosen" where as I bought just the tips. It took me like 15-20 minutes just lining it up to be welded because I wanted it to look a certain way, like I said, I'm glad it came out the way it did.

I'll still say it doesn't look nearly as good in these pics as in person.

I'll get some sound clips soon also.

Wow, awesome! Thanks man! biggrin.gif

So, I went to make a sound clip and the only sound my phone vid camera could capture is idle, everything else just sounds crackly, haha. So I either gotta find a new camera or step up to drivebys, I'll figure something out!

So this is nothing exciting, but like I said all I could capture was idle sound. Decided to post because I think it sounds cool, haha.



This was at Formula D Seattle last weekend, I'm only 10 minutes away from the track, so I go every year for both days. biggrin.gif

Ahh I must have missed those.

But remember, you can't raise the car back up now because the suspension arm thing will be hitting the exhaust tongue.gif

Why would I want to raise it?! tongue.gif

It goes under axle, so it will be fine.

Not really, lol. Washington roads suck and there is ALWAYS construction.

But Im very good at this point at "slammed driving". Its basically like a never ending first person game of guitar hero switching various difficulty levels the different places and speeds I go, haha. Always have to be looking ahead and super attentive.

Some roads, I just don't even try. Sometimes I'll have to take a like 5 minute detour or park in a lot next to one I can't get in and walk, but it's really not bad. I always leave for places a bit early anyways.

When you're riding through the city, you gotta be low and slow.

I just find it hard to believe in a world where we can send people to the moon, we still have crappy roads.

I know! I was watching some History channel show predicting our economy is going to get so bad that we won't have enough money to repair these current (still crappy) roads and eventually all of our major roadways will be gravel-ish. mad.gif

I sure hope not..

Still waiting to see your big brake upgrade - LS400 calipers with ST205 discs.
