you can see how they are mounted a little low, and i desperatly need to get some hi-temp flat black paint on them. i already have some and you can see where i tested it out if you look close. i noticed that if i talk in my car i can hear myself now. :lolg: :cheers:
Looks great, although I was kinda hoping to see the pipes in the center under the license plate - this was a job I have toyed with trying, glad someone did it. :thumbs:

thanks alot for the compliments guys.

will probably alter the mufflers and make the outlet pipes shorter so they can come out in the center when i get the turbo exaust done. my original design for my exaust was to have two 3" angle cut pipes come out at the center, but this may be easier to do. regardless, i will eventually have the tips under the license frame, which i will most defineatly take pics when i do. :cheers:

You pushed the limits on that installation. I wonder what it would look like with smaller mufflers? Looks great. :cheers:
