Thanks bro,i am debating what to do with regards to the lowering,getting in and out of my driveway at work will be challenging,also i may have to roll the fenders since the rims are flush.
Thanks bro,yesterday was the first day that i drove it to work,it was like the new chick on the block hahahaha.
Yes she is out,felt like such a long time but man it does feel good,thank you.

Bro, Nice WHEELS!!! I have a fellow Roderick Brother lol. I was actually thinking about the RW1...Your car looks awesome!
And that is how my car should have looked...flushed to the fender!

Too bad about your offset.
Appreciate the comments.I did a lot of photochopping with different rims before i setteled on these,it turned out well.

This i my first drive since i installed the Sri and Rv 6 j pipe,during normal driving and mild acceleration everything sounds stock,stomp on the gas and the sound is treat to the ear,not annoying but definitely addictive.
I noticed that on slow pull off around the 2k rpm there is a slight vibration for a second and then it goes away,i thought i read somewhere on this forum that the vibration goes away after a while.I would appreciate any input with regards to this from anyone who has the j pipe.
Overall though i am happy with both mods.
Oh yeah,i also had my rims installed today,pics to come .

I figured out what was vibrating,i took off the cross support bracket and drove the car without it,it seems that there is not enough clearance between the j pipe and the bracket (only about 5/16") funny thing is that i cannot see any evidence that it was rubbing.
I added 1/4 " spacers and all seem well atm.

about this one.
Thank you for your kind words.
Me too,i went to the dealership to pick up a part and was asked by the service advisor what year model it was because it looks so different from the front, when i came back outside there was several guys looking at it....... true story.

Nope.
Hmmmmm.
Nope.
Thank you,i am anxious to install it but i have a busy weekend ahead.
Here's a little hint...only one other member that i know of has it.It was'nt a mod that got a lot of love because i think that most people felt it was too expensive for what it is and what you got.
Keep guessing guys!!!

First off i would like to thank everyone who took part in "guess what is in the box".
I had a very busy weekend and started the install about 2.5 hours ago,i purchased the CT Engineering axle back exhaust.
I must say that i was very happy with the sound of just the j pipe and the intake but always wanted to add a little something more to it,well the axle back exhaust did not dissappoint me .
This system is best suited to someone like myself who is not looking for a loud exhaust,most will probably think that it is too quiet,while subjective i think that it sounds absolutely outstanding,nice low rumble at idle and smooth right through the powerband,no rasp or drone.
Enough writing and on to the pics
i will post some more pics of it on the car tomorrow and try to do a video as well.

Yes you were,very good guess.
Thanks,actually there is another member on this forum that has a similar set up.
Only one side has flanges,i used the Torctite lap band clamp provided to attach the other side,no leaks so far but i will have it welded eventually.I did it this way to test it.
I am not sure if there is a gain as such but seems to rev much more effortlessly through the powerband.I seem to remember Pseudo saying that changing the exhaust enable the other mods perform better and i share the same feelings.

Looks like a nice fit. Still curious as to how it sounds. By the way, are there optional tip choices?
