My 2OTL True Duals & !4X4
Sorry guys the car is a little dirty and my clamps keep loosening up so the pipes going to the axle are hanging down about 2" lower than they should be, but that will be fixed by the end of the week and I'll try to get some more pics up on here, but heres some to hold you over.......
And heres a before stance. The car dropped ~1.25-1.5" in front and only about 3/4" in the rear. The pic below is after I cut 1/2 a coil out of the rear and did the heater hose mod. The heater hose is done on the above pics and IMHO the rear needs to come down a touch so I might cut a coil off of the rears to bring it down to match the front

Now my future mods are as follows.....
Fix the exhaust clamps, black out front turn signals, tint windows, paint the top gloss black, paint wheels and headlight buckets satin black, and clean and wax the car really good and beat the **** outta her LOL
Also I may take the muffler and tips back off and cut about an ince off of the tips because at certain angles they look like they stick out really far, but if you look from the top down you can't even see the tips, so I don't know what to do just yet

I may install new front brakes since mine are feeling like they are glazed over and my stopping power just doesn't seem there and mabye they will keep my front wheels a little cleaner.

1. CME deffinately #1 as far as looks go because its simply amazing
2. 2OTL has to be LOL it looks so badass
3. Dumped at the axle or at the rear bumper so they are hidden. Sounds great, but the drone was killing me
I love the 2OTL look, no one else around here has anything like it and the closest is my buddy with a Borla with the passengers side tailpipe off and an electric cutout on that side.
I'm still up in the air about the tips on whether they stick out too far or not. Some angles they look amazing and others they look like they stick out 3" or so.
But the clamps are in my beater as well as the wax and car wash soap and I may have a place picked out for some good pics, but some of them may have a Civic SI in them but I told my buddy that it might not show up in the pics since its not a real car haha
But hopefully tomorrow night I'll get some good shots of a clean car and no hanging down exhaust, and it might have blacked out front turn signals by then

I'm going back tomorrow after I cut some off of my rear springs to get it a little lower because it looks like **** IMHO but I'll try to get some better pics of the exhaust too. But let me know what you think

Thanks man, I had alot of reasons for the 2OTL but have a few different ideas I may try down the road, something like what the mustangs have for a setup with the mufflers under that car and traditional tail pipes

yeah a good exhaust shop can definitely tuck that up some..there is no reason for it to hang down that far...that could cause you a prob eventually...I like the 2otl setup looks nice..I have my GMMG with turndowns now and it looks and sounds nasty...I have the CME valance in the garage waiting for the CME tips...just cant fork out the 300 bucks for them now and then I will throw it on....
props to ya man

looks good, always a fan of TOTL...what muffler(s) did you go with??
Nice exhaust setup. What lowering springs do you have? Also, definately black out those corners. The clears clash. Heck, once you do that and paint the top gloss black, our cars will pretty much be twins.

HAHA yeah, but thats how I wanted it. And I have only scraped the headers 1 time hard and I knew I was going to scrape, but I went over it anyway. I hate when you do stupid stuff like that LOL But if I'm careful I don't think I'll have any more problems
