Wooooooooh

I am in Maryland\Virginia\DC area and the gas is so much more expensive here than 50 miles over a different direction. DAMN that metro tax

I filled up at Shell and I guess I paid like 3.49 a gallon for premium 93 Octane

I know the video isn't the best but with the crazy busy month its all I have for now.

Just did this mod this weekend. Bought the whole setup from calbear550 and had it installed with a quad diffuser on an OEM Mtech bumper. Had to move the pipes around a bit since it was coming off of an M5 bumper, but the end result is awesome. Just a dirty pic after I get home for now, but will update this week with full video and nice pics. Had the post cats & resonator removed which is different then everyone else's setup I think...=louder! It sounds amazing BTW, the perfect pop and burble along with a very deep rumble. Love it!



My car was also in a music video last night, Lil Zane's newest artist KC. Will share the video when it releases in March. LOTS OF HOT GIRLS! wow. lol.

Looking good. Can't wait to see the video.

I too had the oem resonators removed. So essentially we have a true "Cat-Back" exhaust system.

I honestly have to say that I love my exhaust and wouldn't go any other route, especially for the price. I think we are going to see more and more people going this route after all the good reviews. Oh BTW I'm going to try to post some more videos of my setup this weekend. Stay tuned!

West, get those headers installed yet?

Yeah man. Totally agree with you on that.

No. They haven't arrived yet. They told me a 6 week delivery time at the end of November, and I think it's been over 6 weeks already. Gonna send them an email now in fact. Thanks for the reminder.
