Looks pretty awesome... quick question; are u happy with the fitments of the RPI exhausts? Mine look just like yours but I don't like the pipes hanging that low.
Seems right to me - they are where they should be.
What really helped the overall look, I think, was painting the flat surface of the muffler (the part you can see from behind the car) flat black. I did that and it hides everything and makes it look cleaner in my opinion. I just used some flat black outdoor grill high heat paint. Taped everything off, and sprayed it.
