Default Got my CME on.

Before:



After:



I love the way it looks and thanks to the members I bought these pieces from, SaultysHuggerSS (Valance) and edwardswb (tips and elbows) I was able to get these parts for under 400 bucks, so yeah, I'm stoked!
Please excuse the dustiness of the car, hadn't the time to wash it. I'll be getting off graveyard in the morning so I'll get some better pics up in a couple of days.

I love CME, but Im not too much of a fan of the thin stainless tips. Are you running sumitomos? The tires look wider in the second pic, than they do in the first.....

It's the stock muffler just polished up a bit.

Yeah, Sumitomos. It might be the camera angle making them look bigger in the second pic, they were new in the first pic too.

Not a very good one due to the harsh sunlight...

They look great, the only "problem" I have with those tips is that they are so thin walled and don't have a rolled lip on them, or at least a thicker one like the OEM CME has.

I definately love the CME look. The tips you have are great, however, I do wish they were a little thicker walled and thinner openings like the SLPs.

If you run a search on here, there was a member who was making single opening CME tips. It filled the entire valence, but it was one opening, kinda of like a Porsche Boxster exhaust. It wasn't perfect, but unique and looked good too.

the guy that built our tips was making that in our version too...i almost got it..but decided it was just too big; i'm happy with mine, i don't like the factory ones b/c they're too small and only have 2.5" piping; i'm running 3" TDs over axle and the tips have 3" piping, worked out to be exactly what i wanted

+ these just make the car look nasty (mean)!
