Hwystar, looks pretty good. How does it look from a distance though? Can you actually see it hanging, lets say if someone is driving behind you from maybe 10 - 15 feet away? Or does it look alright.

Use quieter mufflers. I've used several different mufflers (Flowmaster single chambers, Morosso spiral flows, chambered...etc) and my favorite ones are also the quietest, which are Flowtech Raptors. The car sounds mean, isn't too awfully loud, and has zero rasp. I'll never go back to a "cat yawning" y-pipe

Man, thats a sweet *** setup you got there. But its over the axle, Im kinda interested to see what under the axle looks like from a distance since its cheaper to do. But if I did wanna spend a lil more Id definately try to replicate your setup.

Man that is a nice setup! Did you have the CME lip molded to the rear bumper or did you just have the bodyshop cut out that portion of your bumper? I couldnt quite tell.

Well heres the deal. Had a chance to get under the car and really inspect things. Just a recap I have Pacesetter long tubes and true dual with a X pipe. I thought I had two bullets but theyre 2 spiral flows or what ever theyre called. I ended up cutting the dumps/tips off and keeping the spirals. They both go into a Flowmaster dual inlet / dual outlet http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Overall it sounds amazing now. Sounds decent at idle and mean when you hit the gas. Clearance is still a very minor issue but only because the road conditions in this country suck.

No, you really don't see them from 10-15 ft away. You have to be fairly far away to really notice them. I'm going to try and get some more pics showing clearance from the side and rear, (when it quits snowing.) My whole system from the headers back only cost a little over $500 ,and that includes the tips and the muffler shop work.
