man If I had to choose any other exhaust than mine it would be the Blitz Nur Spec. those look sharp. I like the progress so far, you are clearly a very patient person to have such a long quality build.

Kevin, your SC is coming along very nicely. Looks great so far. Those wheels look so much better without the orange. And that exhaust will look sick!!

Thanks Ali its been hard to be patient and I have made a few mistakes along the way. But I have learned from them and still keep moving forward, hope to see the light at the end of the tunnel with this car.

Thank Shameed, I cant wait to have it almost done ......




Another little update finaly put in the exhaust and I am so happy it sounds great. I made a few little vids that are uploading to youtube now so I will post them once that are ready. The only thing I am not feelin is the way they hang a bit, are they suppose to site like that ? either way I am going to have my exhaust guy fit it to my liking but its ok for now. The pics I took are not very good bcuz my car is parked in a weird spot so I cant get good shots until after i finish the wheels and brakes............


Taking off the stupid hitch, if anyone wants it PM me.


Getting work done....



I should of started it when it was like this to hear how it would of sounded LoL


Annnnnnnnnd finished product, parts that are made to fit are so easy to work with




Will post vids when they are ready

Kevin, if you think they hang too low, I have a solution for you that I used on my GS.

Go buy garden hose clamps from home depot. They're pretty cheap and will do the job.

Take a jack and put it where the actual muffler meets the muffler tip. You can use a rag or some sort of cloth so it doesn't scratch your muffler. Raise up your muffler to the height you want it to be, then take the garden hose clamp and tighten it where the exhaust hangers are. Keep the rubber ones in place as backups.

Here's what a garden hose clamp looks like:


Buy a size that you think that will fit. Always better if it too large since you can clip off the extra.

The exhaust sounds great!

looks nice, you can also change the rubber hanger piece the muffler attaches to to a shorter one.
