Default Borla Straight Pipes Installed

Pics and Vids to come!

So i bought this system, and the people didnt include the brackets to mount them up on the swaybar. After learning the parts would be like 50 bucks from borla, and these guys were going to take 2 weeks to get them, if they did, me and my father decided to make our own! really wasnt too bad, we bought a piece of steel 1/8" thick and bent it in a vice, drilled the holes, worked perfect!

Now for the exhaust-I rode around with no mufflers for a bit and loved it. This sounds pretty much identical! its really bad-azz. Loud as hell, but you can actually get it pretty quiet driving respectively with stock manifolds. these things are awesome! ill post some vids and pics as soon as i get them!
