Default My Z28

I was in Missouri for three months over the summer so my car sat in my parents garage the entire time and it had no exhaust. So when I got home last week and cleaned her up a bit and ordered the SLP Loudmouth with 4" double wall tips. I could not find the bracket that bolts the the piping that goes over the axle, so my exhaust tips are not centered. I plan on taking care of that this week.








New tips and the old tips

I think that exhaust setup looks pretty killer, i bet its nice to have the car back after 3 months.

Looking good.

SLP grille would be a nice touch, or powder coat your current one...

How is the light output on the DRLs with them blacked out like that?

I needed the money. As much as I like the Whistlers, I do not think they would go well on my car. I was unsure about the tips when I bought the system, but I really like em....just wish the Loudmouth was louder.

I have an mac ory for stock manifolds that i have no use for now that i have longtubes. It will bolt right up in 20mins and should make your car louder and pick up a few ponies. You can have it for $60, im still in Poway.
