Basically the same thing in stainless steel, but it sounds a little more aggressive. It was made by someone who never uses it so I got it for cheap.(thats the story I got anyways I got it from Z1 liquidation sales area) 2 1/2 inch piping just like stock but resonator is pretty small so that probably explains the extra noise. Had the muffler on for a while already but that mid pipe was a good time I saved till yesterday.

My stock flange rusted off on the muffler so thats why I changed it... Can hardly wait till I need new cats because just getting those 2 bolts off was the bestest fun.

This was the happyness... The bolts holding the y pipe and cats are even uglier.. They dont have anything that even resembles a screw anymore.

Nice, you could deliver mail in that bad boy. I used to know a dude in Ga who had one. It was basically a show car... His daily driver got in an accident and he had to use it for work for like a week it was pretty entertaining.

Don't you just mash the gas and the dirt cant hang on with all that power, just like fast and furious when the supra magically becomes clean at the end.

right now its about .5" in the front and 3/4" in the back... did it on my dirt driveway so no real good spot to measure. just set the fender gaps as close to the same. Going to drop the front a bit more and maybe leave the back once the springs settle out... want to get the back about 10-15mm higher then the front

Attempted wrapping my roof with black gloss from bluebatmobile. It was kind of hard, and I messed up so I ripped it all off the car.

That was kind of an expensive lesson in vinyl wrapping 101.
