man, not digging the single tip setup at all...i'd much rather have my stock dual outlets...looks too odd with a cut-out on the other side where a tip would go and nothing is there...plus the huge tip on one side always makes me think ricer...

sound is pretty good...i'd have to hear it in person, though, because it started to sound like most ricers around town here...

^ dude what are you smoking... LOOK AT HIS HONDA CREW

the only thing missing is all of them being black

your crew... status... all rocking grey... with the drop and the 18" wheels the only thing you need is a 10mm spacer so the wheels pop out more

I agree with Bent09, putting a single muffler on a car that is supposed to have 2 is weak :theghey: . But, to each his own...
Sounds kinda like a wet fart trying to blow by a hemorrhoid

those wheels I think are a +48 or 47 so if he put in a 10mm spacer he'd be pretty good... extended wheel studs with muteki open ended lug nutts would also be a nice touch...

a $100 mod that will make those wheels 100 times more aggresive

First of all, I want to say you're one of the few that handle other's opinions like a real man, instead of just bitching.

Second, the exhaust sounds pretty good, a little too "raw" for my taste but overall, not bad at all. Looks wise, it will look ALOT better when you finish up the car a little more to give it that "tuner/JDM" theme.

dude the wheels... JDM all the way... add this to your mods list

10mm spacer
245/45-17 tires (more meat for legit tunner style)

if you are on coilovers... after you put the tires on you could lower one more notch

ps. don't cut the hanger and relocate it will leave a nasty mark cuz you cant heat up and pull off the only way is to cut from about half a inch away from the weld...

spray paint the hanger black...
newspaper and painters tape on the rest of the canister... (of course requires removal of exhaust)...
