Is this full-blown or just delete the rear mufflers? Either way, sounds good!

It should be as long as the cats and sensors are still in place and working.

But you might have a problem for a factory warranty when you are doing modifications, no?

I am not talking about warranty for the exhaust, if there’s a problem associated with the engine they might refuse to fix it under warranty if they found out you modify the exhaust system, happen to me with my turbo Toyota a while back.

I'm tempted to cite that Magnesium Marshmallow act (???) but I know service writers can be real "company men" sometimes......depends on the person.

Agree. In the right situation, this does give them a card they can play if they choose. At the least, it may add a lot of hassle even if they don't ultimately win the blame game. Hopefully this will never be a problem.

This applies to any performance mod while a vehicle is under warranty..

Black interior. Hopefully late this week!

Working on wheels right now ... Wheels are a tough choice! Currently debating between 20"x8.5 Enkei ONX, Phantom and SS05.

The black interior is sharp but too dark for my old eyes. Initially I didn’t care for the stock wheels but now I’m use to them and they look great. They’ve grown on me. Good luck, take it easy for the first 1000 km.

Funny enough they have grown on me a bit, too. Still not my style, but I don’t have the strong negative reaction that I used to. I think they would be OK in a vacuum, but a serious letdown if you’re playing with the “Build and Price” tool online. Something like:

Ooooh base model has nice wheels!

ooohhh tech model has nice wheels!

ooooooohhhhhhh Aspec model has VERY nice wheels!

... then ...

”what are those!?”
