I like em straight back like the Greddys better, but yours is different so its cool in that regard, nobody else has it. If you like it, keep it, sounds badass I think I was behind you a couple times on the cruise.

Edit: Second thought, I think it might look better if you tucked it in like a inch or so, right now its like BLAM in your face cause it sticks out a grip haha. Anyways again props for bein different if all our rides were the same cruises and meets would be boring cause we would all have the same shit. It was fun when a few of us walked around comparing like 5 different roof spoilers lol

SICK I been wanting to do this for awhile now. How much did the two carbon fiber canisters cost you plus the custom exhaust work. Its just that they are so big that they draw the attention and here in Hawaii cops are real dicks about this kind of things.

Looks bow-legged

JK man, it looks ok, just not a perfect fit. Maybe if you lifted them higher?

Props for being original... It does look aggressive as hell though!

Oh and btw my comptech mufflers will be for sale, PM me or check the black market soon!

Oh and I finallllly installed a short ram AEM (thanks againstallodds!), and like everyone has said i sounds 100 times better, the whine is just insane. Its a ghetto install job till i get a custom elbow for the bend.

I think it only looks good on a more sporty car then a TL, but with an a-spec kit maybe it would look good.

Alright at first when i read your post i was thinking angled tips and thought those bmw style tips called DTM tips or what not. Then i clicked on your pic and bamm, i thought wrong. But i like them, very unique, but like everyone says an aspec lip will make it look good.
