You'll need to have an exhaust shop mess with the hangers...



It also helps that mine are painted black, and the dude that fabbed it all up at Speed Inc. was on top of his game.

Yep...the entire exhaust is painted flat black. Makes it a lot harder to tell what's going on from the side and rear of the car...people have no idea that it is a dual exhaust setup until they actually crawl under and look.

Yeah he painted his pipes black. I have been thinking of doing the same thing. The muffler shop should be able to help you out. Have the guy take off the hangers you have on now and have them move the tips up to your liking. He can adjust the hangers from there.

My setup is exactly the same. I wanted my stuff to be invisible.
