Hey you got any pics of the GN? I use to own 2 TR's. So I'm a little partial to them.

I'd say its decent. Looks a little like it hangs kinda low in the pics. For 100 bucks I'd run it.

THAT IS NOT STAINLESS in those pictures....Aluminized Steel IS what is in THOSE pics.... ...basically your usual pipe... You can see the seams.. Looks good though.

Do you know why the exhaust is run exclusively down the PS of the car?
There are no electrical connections near the exhaust!!!

You may want to install a heat sheild and some exhaust wrap on the DS pipe.

the electrical connections are 2" away from the pipe, and they are wrapped, not the pipe.

Can I ask where you got those Corsa clones for $100 a pair??

I have some cheap Hooker tips, 2 months old and they are rusting already.
