Default Traded the GXP for this
Just getting around to posting the vid, but here's the M45 I bought when I traded the GXP in. My brother is driving and don't know how to use the Manu-Matic shifting so it's short shifting by 500rpm or so. Megan Axle Back with resonator delete.

Youtube kept giving me an invalid code. So I posted the link.

Here's a few pics before the exhaust.

Nope wasn't me. Haven't been that way in 3 or 4 months now. Still in SC.

Nice buy!

Currently I'm saving up to get an 08 M45s. I Love the newer style bumpers on the 08's.


Hows the interior comfort-wise?

Yeah love the sportier look of the 08's, not a fan of the M56 though.

The seats are very comfortable unless you're trying to sleep. The bucket seats wraps you in pretty good. Other than that the room and perfect and comfortable.

Thanks
I get about 22.5-30 running 75-80 on the interstate and about 17 in the city. The GXP was a little better on gas.
