pm'd ya, just ordered 2 14" magnaflow resonators. Hopefully it'll reduce the loudness but keep the deep pitch it has right now. Oh and get rid of that god awful drone in the cabin

First time I went to mike's muffler to get the piping made, but they didnt tuck it up as high as I wanted so I had it re-done at super muffler in arcadia. Ive been going there ever since, their prices are alot better than mike's muffler.
To help me cut my rear bumper (i did majority of the work, he just helped me get the lines right), chop off my old mufflers, fit my new tips, and make custom brackets to angle the tips upwards he charged me 40 bucks. For about 3-4 hours of work, the cutting the rear bumper took awhile
Not too bad, if i went to mikes muffler it wouldve been like $60-80

Quality is not the greatest, taken with my phone. The staticy sound is coz we were revving in the building and the sounds were echoing

damn, this car is awesome, only thing i personally don't like is the tips(but that's just my opinion, i like stealthier exhausts. if you like it, and most people do, that's all that counts). everything you've done with this car is A++.
OH WOW..... when i first saw the post i was nervous for you then; I saw the final install and a sigh came thru.. that was pretty gutsy adding/cutting the bumper. wew.. it looks great....Vincent123

Thanks canady, i was nervous cutting it too since its my first time ever using a air dremel tool haha. Theres a few mistakes but I'm probably gonna fix it with some touch up paint. I realized that my right side tips are angled to the right a little bit and not pointing directly straight. I'll have the muffler shop fix that when they put the new resonators on. Surprisingly no drone at highway speeds, only at 1600-2000 rpm i have massive drone

So my homie sells leds and he told me he had a led puddle light kit. Supposedly its exactly the same as the monarch kit without their logo on the box. I compared the two kits, and they look identical. It was a pain in the *** to install, took us about 7 hours to do everything. The cutting and measuring took the longest. And the lights still aren't 100% straight, due to how my side skirt curves downwards. If it was flat like most aftermarket side skirts itd be wayyyyyy easier
Anyways, onto the pics. I will have installed pics later on, didnt have a chance to take any yet
