Default mod mayb?

well, not sure if this is considered a mod in some people's minds, but its a modification in my view, i have the borla ss xhaust on my car but after looking around i didn't much like how it sat , not far out enough imo. it was sitting inside the raer bumper. so today i went and had a shop add some piping underneath to bring out the muffs a lil more. i have 2 b4 pics and some after so u can c what i'm talking baout and did....what do u guys think?



here's a b4

bluelex, definitely an improvement over the tucked version.

When I look at the "before" pics of your exhaust they seem to be much further under the car than mine are... not sure why that is, though. Compare the pic of mine below to the second one you posted at a similar angle - looks like mine stick out at least an inch further than your before. Weird.

Because his 'b4' pic is with the RMM rear bumper.
