there is a little more work entailed than just "put it on yourself".

as for the no tips look i also have to agree but some nice round tips might also look damn good.

thanks man! im currently tossing around the idea of just putting some dumps on there to keep it from blasting the bumper behind the tires, or doing something different with some other OEM cans all together. i wanna hear your sound system when it is all finished. my CD player keeps giving me error messages, so i think it might almost be time to head over to the "shop" for some work.

ya man, my friend has 4 inchers on his AV6 coupe and i held them up to my bumper the other day...they are just too big.

im going to head to the exhaust shop tomorrow and pick up some turn downs for now and keep looking for the right tips. the only other option is a set of TLS cans that already have a nice OEM looking round tip.

Love the way the car has come together but I have never really liked the TL rear lip to begin with. Props to distorted for doing such a great job. Looks good.

yah my dremel motor brushes are broken so i'm using my dewalt drill with the dremel tips. so far while attempting to cut every other word has been "fuck", with plenty of "shits" and "GDs" sprinkled in.

oh and i'm gluing the ends back on and filling the gaps. almost done and off to paint on monday!

right now we are both running no cans, still trying to find the right tips and the time to drop the cars off at the shop.
