Default New 3" Exhaust

After finishing my new setup I figured the stock exhaust was getting to be restrictive. After weighing out several options and I decided to do this custom setup. I got the idea off of another guy however I changed the orientation a bit for better fitment. I chose the full size Borla mufflers due to the straight flow design and the fact they are quiet.

Nice work. How is the sound inside the car while driving? It says the video is private.

You are in Phoenix? I am in Tucson and plan to be at the SCT as well. Who did the exhaust for you? I just ordered a kooks 3inch axle back I couldn't think of any shop I would trust in Arizona to build be an exhaust for my car.

I realized you weren't in Phoenix as soon as I posted that haha I would have had a custom exhaust done if I trusted anyone in Arizona to build one. I did a lot of research and just removed the LG big 3 from my car and it was ok. I did a lot of research on kooks and according to someone that owns one says the drone is at 1500 and everything has to be off it is hard to notice unless you are listening for it.

I am thinking about running "king of the bakery" don't think I will make it very far but just do it for the hell of it. I am waiting on parts for the car and also am recovering from foot surgery on my left foot so I can't even drive the car right now. Not sure if I will even make it.
