So how much was the kit and where did you get it from? So the tips that come out the bumper is connected to your preexisting exhaust? did you cut the tips off the original muffler to install that? Sorry for so many questions but I really like that kit and thinking about it alot, I thought it was called the VIP Edition kit?

I got it from bulletproof automotive. It was about $2600 out the door. I mixed and matched(Full exiv kit will cost around 3500 pre tax and shipping.). Rear is Exiv, front and sides are Prussian Blue. The tips are artifical tips (I was really disappointed when the package arrived), they attach to the rear bumper only. I guess if I want to pipe it out of the rear, Ill have to get some custom work done. Instead, Im using a no muffler setup that dumps out under the car. The piping goes as far as the first hanger, so that nothing dangles.

looking at the bumper, of course the tips are attached to the bumper and disconnect from exhaust. you don't even want to connect the exhaust to the tips. exhaust are supposed to move around and vibrate under driving. you attach them, and either you rattle bad, or it will tear away from the bumper when you accelerate. not to mention the heat can potentially melt away the paint

same case for the ls460
