Ha, I did too for the first 1k miles or so but you really need to let it break in then it gets quieter and richer/deeper

I'm also having issues trying to align the tip to get both sides to match. No matter what I do, they don't match! haha

took lots of adjustment, the shop I took it to had to readjust all the pipes and play around for about a full hour after it was installed to get them even, I can try and PM you a picture when I've got it on a lift in a couple weeks

Carbon Fiber Fog light covers from an eBay seller in the Dominican Republic. Quality was awful and ended up getting screwed on the return with PayPal. Pretty much got scammed.

Don't know the brand--it's off eBay.

Hilarious that this thread is turning everyone into cannibals. I love it.
I suppose the only one I'd regret thus far is the DVD bypass. Ugly button, never use it, wasted cash.

I don't regret getting mods. I regret selling mods I never installed.

I regret buying the TOMs kit. These bastards at TOMs USA have their heads up their asses . No eta, just hurry up and wait. ModInJapan can do nothing other than wait too. Total BS. I should return all the stuff and get the tune and headers . Spend thousands on parts and pay the parts of before they arrive. Something wrong with this picture
