Car looks good and LOW. Do you have to pull out all the plastic in the wheel wells to allow it to ride that low?

It could stand to be a little louder. I didn't want it too loud so we did it in stages. First just mufflers, then 2.25" piping from cat back, then removed two cats, now I'm going to re-do it again and make it true duals all the way back. As it stands now it goes two pipes to one and back into two. So really 2 mufflers and a resonator are on one pipe. My Y pipe sets too low anyways. Ran over the news paper and drug it down the road =/ lol. My Y pipe will hit road reflectors as I change lanes. Reason for doing it in steps is too achieve the sound I want. Kind of like tuning. I did the exhaust purely for looks and sounds. Not really looking for any performance gain, but didn't want to hinder it either.

Yes, I know my VSC light is on. My daughter helps me work on my car and when we were doing the suspension she let the hub fall backward and snapped the wire =/ She's only 7 and does good so I couldn't be too mad. Thats how we learn.


Heckler, to answer your question. I had to modify the front fender liners. I cut the tops of them out. Reason for that is I wanted to retain them. I removed them on my last car and when I turned you could see inside and I didn't like it.
