its not a fart can. theres no rasp and its a genuine magnaflow exhaust and i also have a magnaflow resonator, its very deep and quiet. but law enforcement forced my hand so i am going to ditch it anyway cuase im tired of paying the county tickets/fines. most likley im going to bite the bullet and install 2 discrete all black mufflers and have them mounted flush.

i will post up pics of body/paint tomorrow when i pass by the paintshop..

Yea, something like that, but wider like 5" to fit over black exhaust tip not as long though, it'll look unique. You got it!

Removed front emblem, filled in all bumper holes including plates holes..

My fenders were kind of fvkced up from drunken fender rolling sessions, so fixed that..

Also, some other stuff i'm in the process of addressing..

my old Wise lip is not on the car anymore. here's why..

picked up this temporary oem lip until i get my other wise lip..

Picked up a Nardi steering wheel and Momo hub some time ago..

picked up some LS calipers which im currently in the process of high polishing..
also ordered some slotted rotors and Stoptech ss lines(not pictured)

I sent all front and rear control arms to get powdercoated. when i get them back i'll be installing Prothane front UCA/LCA bushings. Also replaced all eccentic camber bolts/shims($170! from the stealership) and various other suspension parts.
