I'm guessing you are going to keep this one, vs. flipping it, since you put all those mods on it (and put all of that work into it)??

BTW; to answer your question from the first post, that looks to be the now rare (and VERY desirable) SLP 'two out the left', or 2OTL system on there.

I had this as my first aftermarket exhaust, and even when selling it after being on the car for 12 years, I had people FIGHTING over it!!!
