Damn that pipe looks huge coming through the bumper. I can't wait for the vid of it running. Are you planning on running an insert in the pipe to cut the noise a little. I have seen a lot of setups like that and am just curious how loud they are in person, its hard to judge from a video.

Keep up the good work

I wasn't going but what do you mean an insert i havent heard of that. I want to hear how loud it is and decide from there. Either ill get a 5" muffler for it or maybe get an exhaust made to go out the back and just change them out foe the track and street. Best part about v bands.
