Flame suit on.... :^)

Okay...ya'll hated my stripe idea...and I understand now.....and ya'll hated my stoooopid flowmaster tips.....but I hoped an exhaust plate would help. But in my usual fashion...or lack thereof....I didn't want the norm.

So I found these stainless flames...painted the background black and stuck 'em on.

I like 'em....especially compared to my invisible exhaust past.....

cheap? hell yes.....dressy? ...yup, better...and it looks better in person than the damn pics....

Do I care what you think? ....well yes....but I'm jaded now and can take it....ha...

At first glance, I'm diggin' it. Kinda reminds me of the mud flaps on a semi but I'm still diggin' it. I hadn't seen your exhaust before. I'm kinda diggin' that too. Over all, maybe not what I would choose but I'd give it a thumb up if I saw you go by.

I think the tips and plate go with your fencing technology perfectly.

Sorry, you asked.

Well if your asking for an opinion on any particular mod your always going to have someone who doesn't like it. Bottom line-change what makes you happy. It's not over the top and it's not a bad look-my opinion.

The exhaust plate doesn't look bad at all. It's different than what you always see.

You may have the wrong parts IMHO - but you've got the right attitude. Who gives a rat's *** what other people think.

Well it's not MY style,,,But I'd say it's OK!! It's reasonably subtle and not garish. It gives a little personal touch to a bland area so I'd give it a

RELAX AND ENJOY!!

Different?

Yes

You get a big A+ for effort.

but

Different is not always good. You might want to go back to the drawing board.

I think it`s pretty groovy, especially compared to nothing back there in that spot. By the way regarding "no respect" components as judged by some opinionated owners here. I have Flowmasters, Dual Cone Intake, and Shorty Headers. That is considered "trash", "waste of time and money", blha, blha. After a tune I ended up with 331 RWHP and 347RWtorque. WITH an A4 tranny ! That is as good or BETTER than many with exotic CAI, LT Headers with catless H pipe and fancy name exhausts.

Point being my friend, while it is good to be aware of the concensus (sp) opinion, many times it`s people who simply do not know SQUAT !

I think your plate is unique and cool, right on !
