Corksport Exhaust with new cans *large pics and vid*

I posted these pics in another thread but I'm posting them in their own thread for anyone that would be curious. The old style cans were round.

I'm sure many here would be interested in your exhaust so be sure to post some pics.

Off topic question how are you getting a jack under your car with it being lowered? That is causing me a lot of problems :| I am looking to buy one that will work for lowered cars. If anyone knows of some good jackstands link me please

you need a low profile jack. for the front you can get a pair of 2x6 and drive up on them which should provide enough clearance to get a jack under the car.

The video quality is crap and it does sound much better in person. I had several compliments on the exhaust. One person by me was telling his friend that my car was the best sounding rotary he has heard. Not that means much.

Very crappy. Best run was 161whp. I am not sure if it was the dyno or my car. They had issues getting readings so it definitely could have been off.

The car drives great and it does not feel like it is low on power either. Coils and plugs were swapped out sometime last year.

I do not like it either but you can not see it unless you are literally right next to the tail pipe.

get the small racing jack from Harbor Freight, we just picked up another one plus a set of aluminum jack stands. The steel jackstands are quite a bit less, but the aluminum ones are super light, perfect for carrying them to the track and still rated at 3000 lbs each

small racing jack http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=91039

larger version http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=47246

aluminum jack stands (couldn't find a link, they look like steel ratcheting jack stands, but aluminum material)

The second jack looks a lot like the jack I purchased at Costco. The first link looks like what is for sale now at Costco.

The jack I've seen at Costco is much bigger and heavier than the Harbor Freight jack, but some Costco locations carry different products
