The comptech exhaust looks good, but I think that the Y pipe looks better in black. By the way, what do you use on your paint? Nice shine!

Hey that looks pretty sweet! How much did you pay for the pair, if you don't mind my asking? What's the sound like? And what did you do to adjust the height?

Question

Forgive my ignorance, BUT ... Why replace your exhaust ??

? Looks, noise, extra surplus $, or is there a legit reason to replace something that works fine already ??

What happened to "first and foremost ..do no harm" and ""If it ain't broke, don't fix it "

Please enlighten me, new to this stuff

You could also drive a ford taurus and that would probably work just fine too. But then again that would suck ass, wouldn't it? The reason we're here is cuz that's what we do, take something thats already good and make it better/faster w/ a custom touch!

I think he said that just washes his car a lot

BTW, Dragon, how did you realign your exhaust?

Hey,

Exhausts look great! But.....

The Y pipe needs to be black, as it looks a hell of a lot like under the sink plumbing like that. If that Y pipe isn't so jointly, and was more of a straight pipe, it would be good in silver. But the way it is, it would be nicer hidden in black...the way it is, it takes attention from the beauty of the rest of the car....people see it and say "what dat?...looks like plumbing..."

Nice car, man!
