You could always leave another tip in the opposite side so it looks like a twin but it really a single.

We might make fun of you, but the rest of the world would be left clueless unless you told them.

I think i would rather be laughed at for the missing tip instead of people noticing the the other tip isnt even doing anything. I once saw a car like that and the other tip was a straight piece of pipe about 4 inches long so if you were behind it during the day you could see straight through the pipe.

Anyway im thinking the middle of next month im probably gonna order it. But **** i gotta get books for school.

Adam the Hi power is a pretty decent exhaust but its just loud and the single tip kinda sucks sometimes...I prolly would have gotten something different instead...If I were you, go greddy SE..dual heated tips and sounds really good! videos dont really do justice but my friend had it on his 8 and sounded very very good! and nobody has it around here

And thanks guys for that, and Bigs we should be good if you wanna do the lights Friday cuz im working the morning thursday so I dont have to make up a day

Nice to see another 8 joining the forums welcome. One wuick question just out of curiosity what color is your 8 racer?

As far as the exhaust goes two reasons im thinking HKS instead of Greddy is that i can get the HKS about 300 dollars cheaper and also i am wanting something that is just loud i might even get a midpipe with it after a little while. Who knows though i still have about a month before im going to order anything for sure so things may change. At first I thought i was going Turbo XS for sure but just last night chanded my mind.

ohh midpipe with single tip your looking probably too loud to be honest.. i have heard it and the car it was on was crazy loud. then midpip loudens and tunes it pretty much. fyi you will ALWAYS have a CEL light on with a midpipe unless you do some small modification to add a o2 sensor but its not that big of a deal ill ask the other guys how they got rid of theirs.

Racer im west county as well. chesterfield wildwood area. im always down to meet up. we normally hit the valley meets on thursdays but this week is abust. i have ahockey game and stuff so i wont be making it and the rest dont seem to be making the drive. hrmmm yeah woo time for my test.

OH YEAH ryan sounds good. just let me know when. i can meet you at your place or we can do it here. i just hope the bubls i got are the same.. they dont seem like it to me but im no bulb master.

Yep thats what they look like they are LEDs afterall, just be very careful when handling them make sure not to touch the bulb because finger grease will affect bulb life
