Very nice. I love the way the sides flow through the wheels and into the exhaust. Nice work.

-I think you're right SoCalSC4. Todd at TM Engineering actually did all the mods to my car...he definitely did a great job imho...if you guys have any specific questions, might wanna ask him. It was actually his idea to do the color we did and I'm really happy with it...haven't seen anyone else with that color and I love the way it compliments the car. Todd also mounted the EDFC for my Tein's so clean, I couldn't believe it!

- Sorry dude, I'm pretty retarded with this kinda stuff, I have no idea how to do this...Just fyi though, the Blitz has this really deep rumble that sounds very sexy, but it's not too loud. The Tanabe is slightly higher in pitch and has a distinctly more "tuned" sound, but definitely not raspy or ricey or anything like that...The Tanabe is pretty quiet as well, but you can definitely hear both, just not to the point of being obtrusive in any way...they both just let you know, "I'm not stock"...

Actually, I'm not sure which exhaust I like better. The Tanabe is a prototype and the only one in the country and full cat-back stainless with y-pipe and everything...gotta love that. But the Blitz is just beautiful and sounds beautiful too...which to keep??

-T.L.W., I love my Blitz too! Only appearance thing I like slightly better about the Tanabe is the inside of the tips are thicker and beveled, which set them off nicely...

Car looks great and those are some sick wheels. Great color choice

You should consider yourself lucky that Todd is so close by to install all these mods on your car

-Which one? I love 'em both, yet for different reasons
Blitz - Looks beautiful, sounds beautiful (at least to me)
Tanabe - One-off, Cat-back, and tips looks great
