I loved how those more aggressive ones looked for me personally, but it looks awesome on these too! More conservative

hard to tell from this angle. but i did get my quad tip mufflers installed. I still have the resonators in, so the sound is not too loud as of now. I am still debating on if i want it louder or not.

Looks great! Wish you bought my Wald kit when I was selling it. Would've been perfect!

What exhaust is that? Scary cutting the bumper huh?

YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH I REGRET NOT BUYING IT

I am actually looking around for one, I really love the Wald kit, simple. I've been emailing a lot of importers to get pricing, and seeing who has the best price.

It is universal Tsudo Mufflers, re-weld new piping from the axle back. I did not delete the resonators yet, but as of now, the sound is okay. not too loud unless I floor it. I could only imagine how loud it'll get when I do delete them. And yes, it was scary. I actually messed up a little, haha, can't really notice it unless you're super close. I hope the lip kit will cover the mistakes. But this time I will get the body shop to cut up the lip kit to fit my dual tips.

I ordered a lip kit from Japan. Before you ask, I do not know what the brand is, I know for sure it is not OEM. It looks similar to OEM Celsior. But I liked it, and it looks pretty cool.It is at the body shop right now getting fitted and painted. Hope to have it all done by next week. Looks like I have to re-do my tips too. Since the shop is painting the kit, I am also having them fix my fender that got messed up during the time I had my old Auto Coutures. So far so good, the rears are little harder to fit since they were made for dual tips and not quad. So I have to do the best I can with the rear lip and then redo the tips.

Lookin good! How much louder is the new exhaust compared to stock? I'm really wanting to do the same, I just know my clients would hate my car if it the exhaust was noticeable.

It isn't that much louder to be honest. Its good enough, my GF hates loud exhausts, and she says this one is bearable. I did not delete the resonators. I just added the mufflers. Which exhaust do you plan on getting?
