What kind of exhaust is that? Are the tailpipes off center?

Looks nice. The 19's in the rear seem a little big though. I would've just went with 17's all the way around though, like 9formula4 said he was going to do.

As I found out the hard way, unless you replace the exhaust from the catback, if you use aftermarket tips, they're going to be off center because the exhaust pipes from the muffler are curved. That's why the stock exhaust tips are asymmetrical.





So they come out like this:



When I replaced the muffler, I had the exhaust shop redo the pipes but even then, they're still off a little.

BTW, the wheels look nice, but I like 17's all around.

Ah. Oh, well. That's probably happened to a lot of people. I was thinking about doing something with my stock tips until I realized they didn't have the same offset.

I think the wheels look pretty good. I'm thinking about getting some new wheels someday because I would like to upgrade my brakes. I don't know where to begin.

Nice wheels but a bit too big on the back, I was actually thinking of getting those in 17" but went with the C6 Z06 wheels instead.Nice ride.
