good job!

Say ...

Good job -- nice and clean. I took off the "3.2 TL" since it's an INSPIRE, right??? Based on the side pic of the rear tire ... I don't think it's dropped ... DROP IT and it'll look even better.

Those neons are actually screwed to the back.

"Tapped in" as in what power source are you using to power your rear neons.

Oh... hehehehehe, actually I don't really know because I took it to a shop and they installed it for me. I got those from the rear headrest and two footwell lighting... I think he hooked them all up to the same source coz I turn them on with one single switch. I pulled the wires from the back, underneath the seats, through the door sills, to the front near the steering wheel.

Wow, the exhuasts look great. I have a question: Did you have to modify the exhausts to have it fit so perfectly? It's perfectly hung from the kit and it flushes out at the tip perfectly to the bodykit, that's amazing.

Did you have it modified? How's the sound?

Yup I love how the exhaust looks and how it hungs so perfectly from the kit. No modifications, that is how the WS Apexi will fit if you have the body kit. It is not perfect however... both mufflers are a little tilted to the right (which annoys the hell out of me) but its not so obvious, you have to stare at it for awhile before you notice. I was thinking about taking it to a muffler shop to get it straighten but dunno if worth the money just to straighten that thing. In regard to the sound its perfect as well. I love the sound... deep and bold under low RPMs (less than 4K) and almost silent at high RPMs.

Thsiao: Do you have the cat# for the WS Apexi cat back? Is it the same as Accord V6 98+? I'm also on the market to looking for exhaust and still haven't decide to pick one yet! Still torn between Comptech, Apexi, and HKS. And also could you tell me where did you get it?

Thanks.

I dunno if its the same as the Accord V6 98+. I got it at an auto shop called Impex Motorsports. You can just call Apexi and I am sure they will give you the right one. By the way, they just released a new WS II exhaust that looks pretty hot... the tips are a little thicker and a bit bigger.
