The thing is, its with an xpipe and two borla pro XS mufflers. So it could be totally different if its just installed into one.

theres mine which is similar to nixqdoof except i have the AFE CAI which makes it louder. You might want to try the borla Turbo xl which is a slighlty larger exhaust and should be a tad quieter.

Nixqdoof--arent those 545/550 rims on your car or is that the standard 530 rim in 04? I dont see that listed in your mods but those dont look the same as other 530 rims I have seen.

Also what in gods name is with the revving to 2k rpms to show off an exhaust? And that drive down the block looked like you were rolling in neutral? Just not understanding why you would rev a car to 1-2k to make an exhaust clip??? Yoou couldnt hear squat!

Yup, those are 545 rims. I had the 123 style oem rims but I didnt like them so i sold them and got the 124 oem rims.


As for the sounds. its got bass.. you really can't hear it on laptop or speakers without a sub... Also I didnt want to look like a crazy person revving my car in my driveway at the moment.. there was a lot of people around.. hahaha.

Understood-sweet car by the way-I love your exhaust set up-I guess I have been so accostomed to being a crazy person and revving the heck out of my engine at every chance I can get-I am addicted to hearing intakes and exhaust what can I say-I guess I am numb to looking like a nut-glad you are still normal!

Sweet car though and Iam sure it sounds good-your car actually would look awesome with the tips painted black as well-the right black of course. I kind of like the Remus black tips that are available-not sure if it is a dull black orwhat but they are nice.

By the way how do you like your bridgestone a/s tires? Do they work decently in light snow-I am in a never ending search for the right a/s tire

I got the bridgestone a/s tires in june so I haven't tested them in snow yet.

I hope they do well cause I paid a decent amount for them. If you look at tirerack.com you'll see the ratings. So far so good with them though.
