Yep I love it, deep rumble, not annoying (to me) at all

My only thing is they point outwards, I'm not used to that yet, but the sound makes up for it

almost, I'm afraid of people throwing things in it

Welcome to the Daizen Sway club.
thank you, what an upgrade sway bars are. Well worth it IMO

Thumbs up

Looks good. But I think your exhausts might be hanging a 'lil low...maybe it's just the pic? Anyone else think so?

the exhaust does just hang like that, people with body kits will not have that much of a gap coz' of lower bumper openings. and yeah, the thing i don't like about hks is the outward opening and the round muffler. i want oval muffler and straight can tips, that's why i got my apexi. can't complain neither v8 rumble is awesome
