Well, don't get them vicky's secrets in a wad boys...
1st, they fit nice and deep up into the opening because of how small they are.
2nd, Richie will be coming out with some base tips for us guys...
and if he doesn't...I'll likely end up getting a type S rear lip and the bigger duals.

Dude, you were the main one that made me realize i was full of crap and that it I had major exhaust leaks...I was like, don't worry, once it gets warmed up it sounds awesome, and you're like "no, actually it sounds like ish and you probably have a small peen".
That's what I knew I had to do something about it. And the exhaust.

I never said such thing! I could just tell that something wasn't right.You never admitted it but I knew you liked how mah ATLP sounded and that it wouldn't be long until you got a new system. I really wish we could have met up this week

Thank you, suh!
Tyler, you lie! If you wanted to meet up, allz you had to do was make up some reason you had to drive another 3 hours South! I woulda made it happen for sure!
PS...yeah, I did like how it sounded, but didn't like the pricetag I was seeing...so I said it sucked. You know, to convince myself I didn't want it. Plus, the tips...there are still some things I'd like different about them but I do admit they've grown on me a lot too.

My favorite type of weather, brother...it really is. We suffer through the rest of the year to enjoy 2 months of decent weather! 
Thank you all!
J.
Went back out and gave this another go...only problem, same shit...the carnival was in the setting sun and the car in the shade...had to wash out the backround to see the car, otherwise you could see carnival and car looked like black death.

BUTT, no touchups this time at least.

Nice!! You should try a photo merger, take a dark photo and take another normal photo right after and then merge them together 
That way the background and car will look equal (not one brighter than the other).
(I did this for the wide angle shot at the park)
