LOL, no, that's either the strap for the camera or a mark on the driveway, I'm pretty sure it the strap to the camera. Carlos is a computer geek but making antennas for a camera to take a pic

I think it's the cap/strap for the lens. I could connect it to my laptop and take a picture using the laptop. GEEKS RULE!!! ........... uh wait.

KPC and ISDreams,
The sound in the cabin is really nice, you almost don't notice it until you get on it. At about 4500 rpm it really opens up but the sound is deep throaty and really nice. No rice sound what so ever. Very suble at idle. Matter of fact I can barely hear it at an idle. When you first take off at a light or if you are trying to make it through a yellow it gets loud (deep sound) in the cabin but never drowns out the radio at all. Very easy to install, just bolts right on. I don't know about voiding a warranty. Normally anything aftermarket will void the warranty of the particular system (i.e exhaust, suspension, etc.) but not the entire warranty. Call the dealership to make sure. I purchased it from the GB here on CL, it was until 4/30 but they may still honor the discount. Check the Vendor/Marketplace section and look for the HKS GB thread. I'm very pleased, exactly what I was looking for

Tara,
Nice to meet you and Carlos this weekend. I really like the exhaust from hearing it in person and think that it is awesome that you work on the car yourself. Hope to see you guys again soon.
