Thanks to a few of you ( VT, My530,Imsortofabigdeal,Alpinewhite,Fantastic5) I was able to finish my Quad project. I first
bought the M5 bumper off ebay for $150 . It was in bad shape and had PDC. (some of you might have seen it.) He was local so didnt have to pay shipping. Then my local body shop Eagle one located in Eagle Rock filled the pdc holes up with some liquid compound that hardens. I think it was epoxy not certain tho. Then painted all for $250. I then ordered the X pipe and 2 Borla pro xs mufflers. I brought the parts to Steve's mufflers in Glendale,CA He only charged me $150 for 2.5 inch piping and installation of my parts.
Tips are Round/Oval with a slant. theyre about 80x83 mm. They sorta look like the Eisenmanns without being to oval in shape and no offset.
I recorded the sound on camcorder. I just need to get a video capture card tonite. It sort o f sounds like VT's but with a slightly deeper punch at the end. Theres no droning and a slight rumble at mid rpms. The pro xs isnt as loud as the turbo mufflers they have . just slightlty louder than stock

That's freakin sweet dude. I want something just like that..
One question... the bumper... did you have the Mtech bumper before that?
Hmm. I still have stock, I would need the hardware to attach it on.
May I see pics on under your car? i want to have an example so when I bring it to a shop they can make it nice and sweet.
Nice exhaust man...

yea i had the mtech bumper before this. I have mine up for sale if interested. For the M5 bumper youll only need the center guide, and reinforcement piece for the bottom opening . They were around $50 for both.
