Still have to add tips, do a little cutting and finish the box over the pipes so I don't cook in the car

Tell them you're making a functional diffuser and they'll all drool.

Nice. Did you end up going over the rear crash bar or through it?

I really hope you do your homework and insulate that fiberglass tub and seal it all to deal with the reversion at the rear of the car. Otherwise you'll be breathing exhaust.

Building a sealed box over it. I drove it an hour to the shop with no catback and the holes cut. It was rough. The body should be just fine with heat. I'm a bit worried about the bumper though

You'll never be able to put it back to stock now when you sell it

Should have made my sarcasm more evident, just mocking the waxer mentality of never installing anything that doesn't bolt-on or use double-stick tape

I looks for days for straight cut, dual wall tips that are 12" long and my dimensions. Couldn't find them. I'm not thrilled with these and they were over 100$. Dumb. Think I'm gonna spray them black

Honestly, spraying them black may make all the difference!

I feel bad for the next guy at the track that gets too close to that rear end when you park it after a session

Are you going to remove the cats and disable DFCO so you can shoot flames?
