Default got my "jdm" mufflers today.

first of all, im not sure if this thread belongs here.....so kindly move to the appropriate category.


i recv'd these "jdm" exhaust today via fed-ex from ebay and im so glad i got them!........hehe...there is no brand name h'ever but from what i paid, i think i got a good deal!
thy're fully polished and stainless steel with 3.5 outlet and 2.5 inlet. the tip is quite long and im hoping it wont stick out too much from the rear bumper. i will install these babies this saturday and i hope to get good results!!.....these mufflers are very light and even comes with about 6 inches of stainless steel inlet pipe with flange......

here are some pics......

They look nice! I look forward to seeing them on the car. I, too, wonder how far they'll stick out.

Damn Indy... you must have money up the ****. I keep seeing you doing more and more things to your car. Your ride looks real sick (of course my SC is white too so I might be a bit biased ) What are you gonna do next with it? Or are you just going to surprise us?

They are direct fit to your car? No welding right? What brand are these? Looks great!

hmmm, i dont knw what my next mod will be.........hehhee
i just like fixing up my cars but then, gotta save some money aside for future use......

im planning to get a paint job. the passenger side has got so many dings and
scratches...i dont know wht's a good decent color out there to match my tan interior.
heck, i also want to refresh my interior.........preferably black.......or maybe have both: tan and black.
then maybe i can paint the car in black as well..........im not sure.
rt now, im just focusing on the exterior mod then later move on to the interior.

oh yeah, my retrofit is also done. i've got audi projectors in there alrdy but i have no ballasts
and rest of wiring harness yet. will finish that this wknd, i hope, and put the mufflers on.

There a good ebay seller..picked up wheels from him before. exhaust looks great is they stick out too far you can always trim the tips and polish them up again. Looks good!

Do I hear VIP Those tips scream VIP! Looks real good, I'm looking for new rear mufflers too at the moment, what would look good behind the rear of a 97 bumper? I'm thinking Blitz NUR-Spec but then I think of an empty bank account hahaha
