if you have the pictures on your computer

you need to get them to about 193KB in file size or less. You can do this easily by right clicking on the file and then clicking edit. it should bring up paint if you have windows. then on the top, click on image -> stretch skew...use percentages to get it towards the correct size (you won't know until you resave it and check it again). It takes some trial and error. Then you save as -> whatever you want, but make sure on the bottom it says .jpeg file and not .bmp file.

once you've got a picture file that's a jpeg and less than 190kb, you make a post on the forum and before you actually post it, if you scroll down past the reply button, you'll see a manage attachments button. click that and youll see upload spots for pictures. click browse next to one of them and find your file and select it. you can do this for multiple files. the allowed file sizes are listed in that window. then hit upload, wait until it's done, then finish posting your reply.

additionally, you can host it on a free, web-based picture hosting site like webshots, shutterfly, etc.

doesn't need anything, and as far as I'm concerned, if it sounds like mine, you got it done even cheaper, with a better pipe setup. I think it's awesome. Maybe you can get yours on the dyno before me.

Do you have anything else done to the car?

Do a 3rd gear pull vs. your dad and see what happens

i feel like im drunk while reading your posts

I didn't want to cannibalize my stock muffler...that's why I got new tips

I think it looks pretty good though and you will definitely be able to find a replacement if you need to

^ It looks like they cut your exhaust pipe somewhat cuz the small y-pipe at the end seems to have a some somewhat smooth curves to each respectable tip. Take some pics from under to see exactly what you got done if you dont mind. And make them bigger pics

yeah that's the first thing I noticed...so I guess if you ever went backwards, you'd have to buy the whole stock catback, or at least the catback without the y-pipe

Mine, as I'm sure you noticed, is purely a "plug-n-play" piece...so I can swap the stock muffler with it whenever I want.

Smokedout...if you got bored, you could probably have the guy make you a better y-pipe too and see if it sounds any different
