GXP back from the shop today. I got my GXP out of the shop today with some new goodies installed. Sorry for no sound clip. I'm going to buy a camcorder tomorrow as my daughter's is just to complicated. The last pic is of a decal I searched the internet for. You know how those rice rockets always have stickers that say powered by this & that or ????? inside. Well I believe my decal says it all.

How did the cat-back install go? I ordered mine Monday and plan on doing it this weekend at the base hobby shop if it is here in time. It uses the stock hangers, correct? I was worried about the stock bolts being tough to break loose, but I just had the DP put in a couple weeks ago so that shouldn't be a problem. Did you have any trouble getting the tips to line up where you wanted them?

Yeah, from those pics they look like they're sticking out just a bit. I like the placement of the stock ones myself. I guess if it comes down to it I can have the muffler shop cut and weld them to my liking.

I like how the dual/dual tips on the MF tick out on the GXP, reminds me of a TA....but on a MC or Imp they look stoooopid with those big goofy singly fluted tips.

Verdad Gallardo Yeah, that's why I went with the slash-cut TBSS tips on mine...I hated the MagnaFlow cannons that came with mine. Although fitment under the bumper was an issue, they were still ugly at best, imo.

Yeah it's a more aggressive sounding that's for sure. You're right the decal is a little off center. Minor detail though.
