Love the tips! Looking forward to the rest of the pics.

I can't justify replacing the exhaust on my brand new car, but these pictures (and other youtube videos) make me wish my exhaust would magically break, or simply fall off.

Thanks to Eloy for taking time to adjust it to my liking!

Oh and John, I got to spend about two hours alone with Christie...

I love the black tips. It looks like the tips are stickin out a bit though. I like them tucked as close as possible to the bumper.

I explained that the tips were pushed back about 1.5" and about 3/4" up so they're tucked right up under the bumper. I'll post more pictures tomorrow during the day so you guys can see the final position.

Surgery complete:











We played with adjustment for a little bit and ended up tucking in about 1.5 inches and up about 3/4"...more pics tomorrow during day light of the tips...the also have a heat-proof RPI sticker.



Last but not least, how I paid for it:

How did you adjust the height? My RPI hangs way too low for my liking with the OEM hangers. I LOVE the sound and performance, but I am quite disappointed with the fit. It hangs down like a cheap Japanese cannister. It's disappointing that such a well engineered exhaust requires custom install to make it fit right. I will post pics next week. Unfortunately I am out of town for the weekend without a computer to load pics.

Remember, these exhausts were made for OEM bumpers, not aftermarket bumpers. With that said, the install isn't custom at all. At my request, Eloy used a smaller rubber hanger in the rear near the tips and simply pushed the exhaust in a little. That's it. You just have to play with it a little. When you use the smaller hanger and push the exhaust in a little, it automatically moves the tips up.
