Default RAWR! Muffler delete + xpipe

Just got it done. Not bad at all. Sounds meeeeeean!

Thing is, they didn't have the tips in & I gotta go back to get the tips welded on. I stopped by another shop to see if they had tips & then they tell me the pipes aren't in there straight. BAH!

Video when I get tips, right now it's looking a lil ghetto. Lots drone though. Way louder in the cab than I anticipated, but sounds cool.

Tips installed. They look sharp! Fit the opening real well.

Here's the tips installed. I really like them & glad I decided not to go with the other shops tips that said the pipes weren't installed straight, because these are REALLY nice (car is fliiiithy, rained yesterday, 800 mile road trip starting today, 4 tire install tomorrow, will clean it when I get back):

No videos yet, sorry! I want to, just haven't had the time.

Here's a short idle vid (first few seconds), then the rest of the video is dealing with the Black Tire Coat dressing showing it's durability after 4 days. My camera battery died right when I was dealing with the wheel with the flaking (which I believe is surface prep issue).

Just do it! It's easy, inexpensive, and sounds pretty good. Some drone in 6th at RPM < 2000, but I don't spend much time there!

Mine cost $125 (under the table) to cut mufflers & install xpipe, + $145 to purchase & install tips.

I think it was something they had on the shelf. They had a Magnaflow one, but meh. The one they put on looked like a home fabbed one but professionally done. It looks sharp with clean lines though, but looks aren't important here. I was under the car while it was on a lift while they prepped the tips & the xpipe was about almost 2' long. I realized after I should've gotten a pic.
