New CUSTOM exhaust w/pics

Well i had my own custom exhaust made, just cut out the muffler and put a welded a Y-pipe and used the stock tips. Sounds SWEET!! and i can definently feel a difference. Maybe not a HUGE difference but its there. i should be able to post pics later today too... no sound clip tho sorry...

The stock exhaust from the muffler to the tips is 2" so i just went with that so i could just stick with the stock tips so its only 2"

That is not from a hp difference but more from getting rid of the heavy stock exhaust

hey i'm the one who questioned rb before i was just asking a question. personally i don;t care what company or how "trustworthy" they are they will tell you what they have to to get you to buy there product. but honestly making my car "mine" is more important than any dyno or time slip but i must agree with everyone else on this- why the stock tips?

New tips was gonna be like $60+ and i just wanted to keep it looking mostly stock... I seem to be getting good compliments about it. I was in Austin today at one of "the spots" and lots of people came to me and told me they liked my exhaust and how it sounded. Later when i have more money i'll swith to bigger tips...

from firsthand experience I wouldn't recommend it on a street driven car, long term it will definitely affect your hearing
