Excuse the dirty car, funny thing is I washed the car afterwards but forgot to take pics.

Shiny!!

Tips centered nicely on the stock bumper.

and I thought your car looked hella nice at the mini meet last month. Now, with the new exhaust, it looks even better Now with the extra kick from the exhausts, Im going to have a harder time keeping up with you while racing through the San Francisco streets!! haha! Cant wait to hear how it sounds at the next get together.

Thanks Mark. I don't think you had any problems keeping up, just that dang traffic through the city. It sounds nice and healthy!!! I think you and Will are the only two with green GS's, you guys will have to stick together.

No droning in the 2000 rpm range like some other exhausts, nice and deep. At idle its a little louder, while driving i didn't really notice it with the music playing at what I usually listen it to. When you get on it you will hear the growl.

Will,

I had to wait for Steve to get a new shipment. Anytime you wanna drive give me a call, in fact I'm off for the next week and a half. Hehe, I already got Mark lusting after my BBK.

Svt5150,

Thanks, I only know of one other modded BC GS and that is GSing430.
