Love the sounds as well! Is it literally just removing he muffler and adding a straight pipe back to the tips? Where did you pick up the tips from?

Thanks guys. Yes it is just removing the muffler and adding a straight pipe. The tips are Yonaka stainless steel. They are normally $79 a piece but I caught a sale and got both for $79!! very nice quality!

Thanks Umichris, I cant wait to put my spacers on and when these tires are bald step up to the 285 in the rear. There is a very nice M5 that goes by the handle "Indyredbeast" he has the same wheels nice and flush in the rear.

I wish I could just cut a coil off the rear. The front sits perfect and the rear is 1/2" too high. Maybe I will get creative with the angle grinder!!!

Coilovers will solve that problem

Yeah but I dont want the car to ride any harsher than it does. I may do GC coilovers with factory spring rates.

I went the CKS coilover route after trying out several other coilovers.
