Default Put my new exhaust on!

I've been slowly but surely accumulating parts in the basement, so finally I spent the last week and a half taking my factory exhaust and emissions equipment off, and putting on my pacesetter ceramic coated longtubes, ORY, cutout, and magnaflow catback. I also did new prothane motor mounts while I was at it. So far I'm loving it! the difference is night and day, it feels and sounds so much better. I really did not have any complaints about the install either. I just took my time, and everything seemed to go smoothly. I am very happy with how well everything tucked up under the car too, there is tons of clearance. The only thing that is left to do is install the electric cutout and wire that up. I'm planning on putting the switch next to the ash tray so its hidden until you open the lid.. can't wait for that. Anyways, here's some pictures and a few vid links:

Not bad at least your magnaflow fit. My drivers side tip was not bent all the way so it crooked. Taking mine to the exhaust shop soon to get that fixed.

Thanks guys, ya everything tucked up GREAT. There is a nice little area where the floor board goes up, about a foot behind the end of the Y pipe where the cutout fits perfectly. And who needs a radio when you've got exhaust
