DUDE !!!!! You have been making everybody witing for sooooooooooo long. !!!

Okay....Is there any Kinko's nearby? Take your pictures and ask them to resize the resolution smaller and keep the actual size the same (4 x 6 or 5x7, whichever) and save them as a Jpeg format. It'll cost you probably $5 bucks.

Or if your girlfriend has Adobe photoshop, click on "Image" on the menu bar on the top and choose/click "Image size", you will get the option to resize the resolution. Hurry UP !!

FYI : keep the image resolution under 72 dpi, but keep the actual image size the same. The picture won't be pixelated.

I have my little inside connections with JIC

I have the pics of the whole system while the car was lifted.

Review:
I have recently taken out my old exhaust and installed a new JIC one. I still have to modify the part that goes from headers to the new part of the exhaust but that is coming soon. The power increase from my previous exhaust setup is MASSIVE!! The torque increase is very notisable. The car breathes freely now and the throttle response is very smooth. It is such a pleasure to open it up on the street. JIC did my install in house and I had a chance to try the car with and without silencers. With silencers the car is way quiet and have a lot less power (just like my previous setup). There is still A LOT more TQ then stock. Without silencers my car scares harley riders and make ricers feel very uncomfortable. It is also fun to see people on the freeway brakng their neck trying to csee what is producing such growl.

JIC also has a little toy I call a butterfly valve. You install it along your exhaust system and it basically an electronically-controlled silencer. By a press of a button I can have a quiet exhaust and less power or loud one with more. This is also great when you want to quiet it down if you see police or cruise at night at yours or anyone's neighbourhood. I will install that toy in september

I currently have all 3 cats in place. The exhaust is only half-done. I am considering Tex's headers and straight piping in the near future. I am really **** about do-it-right performance parts.
