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

Well I finally got some time to upload my video. Sound isn't close to what it sounds like in person when revving it but I think you'll get the idea. This is also done after a cold start, which I have noticed once warmed up, it quites down some. Lovin it!
I know the video isn't the best but with the crazy busy month its all I have for now.

Model Year: 2000
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!
