So after driving around Atlanta for the past few days I feel like I can give you guys a quick review of the Apexi exhaust. It's loud. I'm actually reconsidering not going forward with headers. It'has a VERY deep rumble. The sound is so far off from any video posted that I've viewed on the Internet. The sound does come through the cabin so for anyone wanting to keep that luxury car sound I'd recommend not purchasing an aftermarket exhaust. I find myself mashing the gas a lot more at lower speeds just to hear that deep rumble, so my fuel economy is taking a hit HAHA! I'm truly 100% in love with the sound now. I'm positive I made the right choice for me. The quad cans look a lot better than the larger single cans other companies are making and the burnt tips gives it a nice touch. Installation took about 45 minutes and everything bolted right up, as it should for a nice Japanese crafted piece. My girl loves the sound too..... She's use to my cars with exhausts and she says it her favorite sounding exhaust so far.

Thank you. Yes that's how it sits now with the springs. I think it would be accurate to say it's settled a little bit more from when those pics were posted. I brought my camera on my trip so I'll get some newer shots up soon.

Thought I'd share some quick photos of how I clean the alcantara pieces. Super easy and the Sonax really works well. I use a bug sponge to apply it with then work the soiled areas with a soft bristle toothbrush then finish up with a micro towel. That's it!

Great build!
I'm highly considered wrapping my rear center console in alcantara as well. My damn dog likes to jump around in the back all the time and now it's all scratched up. How much did it cost for the custom job at JPM Coachworks?

Thanks! Just trying to keep up with you!
It's not expensive at all. Call them up and ask for Joe(Owner) and tell him you'd like something like mine. You can pop it out from the rear seat surprisingly easy..... Like really easy. Ship it to him and he can get it done. He could probably explain to you how to do it yourself ( applying the material ) if you're comfortable doing things like that. I'd just pop it out and ship it if it was me. Give him a call, super nice people and great guy to talk to. I do know he's headed out to the west coast (SD) early part of Sept, so possibly you could even meet up.
