I love the way it sounds, the sound isn't as loud as you guys made it seem. The sound in the cabin is a bit loud but i can live with it and i love the way it looks on the car

I like my Greddy PE. The only thing is the tips extrude out about 1.5" from the bumper cut out. I had a shop did a custom cut to make them flush with the bumper.

I actually like them sticking out a bit. It kinda gives it the "hot rod" look. Very nice though!

and in case you get a kit, you don't have to add a section to the pipes!

Default Question for JacobT

You have to cut from the joint where the pipe connects to the muffler. Remove about 1" from the pipe and weld it back to the muffler. Costed me about $100 to do it.

Keep the exhaust the way it is, even though the flush look is nice also........ If its not loud enough just run open headers...........

My question is why won't GReddy make the Millenium (I think that's the name) for the GS? Having the tip extend out from the bottom of the muffler makes it so much better for clearance (anyone who's owned a lowered car knows about exhaust scrapes)...

evolution

they just started that line and they only have about 10 cars on it right now, i bet soon they will take off PE and change it to EVO, all they have to do is put another muffler on the system, i agree too, but i do like the PE's look better, even though it is lower.

Goral: just had to make sure you would know it would be loud, if its quiter thats ok, but if its louder its not, we just wanted you to know it was one of the loudest, i don't think mine is that loud (well it wasn't that loud).

Default LOUDness

It doesn't seem that loud to me becasue all my buddies either have 4inch piping on a tt supra or headers and a full exhaust on a Ls1 Z28, those cars are really loud, i consider my car as a gentle grumble
