Default HKS Carbon TI on my 1997 SC300 5 Speed

So I got this put on a week ago and finally got a chance to take a couple pics, and I made a video, however I dont think it shows how well it sounds. I love how it sounds. It litterally sounds just like a supra with no turbo. Which is exactly what I was looking for. The reason the pipes are so low to the gound is because my friend had it on his 350z and I just kept the pipes the same. Its 3". I love this exhuast. By far the best I have heard personally in a while. You can really hear the motor and it sounds really low and like it has cams. Even though it doesnt haha. Anyways onto the pics. Tell me what you think.

thick welds + flange....looks weird. Haha. It was on the 350 Before and I think it had a hanger there. I might get the pipe re-done. Im not really sure yet.
