It sounds great! It kind of sounds like my LS with straight pipe.

Is it just mufflers only or did you get bigger piping as well?

Dang, that's pretty loud for just axlebacks. Do you still have the resonators on too?

My car's rear end got smashed in a hit and run last month. It damaged mostly my trunk and rear bumper. I had the emblems shaved and installed a Junction Produce roof spoiler at the same time. I also added chrome door handles. My friend took some recent pictures of it.

As usual your car looks amazing man. The shaved rear looks really clean.

Does your car rub at that height? I would love to go that low.

That's awesome! I'm looking to drop my LS like that once I get some of the Megan arms. The way your car sits makes it look so cool.

How is the ride quality being that low?

Thanks! Ride quality is good, wish my suspension was a bit stiffer though.
