Default Installed NXT exhaust today




Got her up in the air and new axle back exhaust from NXT laid out.





Bolted right up after removing those huge factory mufflers.





Under shot of system.

Not very good video quality... From my phone. I must say quality appeared to be excellent. It's a true bolt on set up at a very reasonable price (eBay). Sound is very low rumble and on the hour drive home I did not experience any "drone". I am very pleased with it, and was able to move Dyno tune to tomoro morning!

You know what I just realized, it almost looks like those mufflers being so short could have been pointed straight and had tips on the ends instead of all those 90 degree changes. Looks good though.

Are you doing a dyno tune just because you want to, or because there are other mods to the car that could benefit/require one? Axle backs look very good btw.

Very shiny Choppy, and that's quite an array of wrenches you have there to get you started
Since it was soooo nice today we went for about an hour cruise, had the windows up with A/C on, the drone with the NPP open was getting irritating (after headers install), with the windows down I love it, the sound is music to my ears, but not up
