Still thinking if I pick one of these up (I promised my wife no modding) I may paint all but the tips a flat black.

Also be interested to hear some inside vids.
it hangs low because OEM exhaust hangers get worn over time. look into some polyurethane bushing/hangers and thatll fix the issue.

Mine shipped on Friday and Fedex says the order was fulfilled by 'M2 Performance Inc'. The ebay seller is just a dropshipper so you definitely won't be able to pick it up locally.

My car has 500 miles on it, so hopefully I won't have that problem then!

BTW: Nothing changed on the 2011 exhaust fitment wise right?

yeah the left one is a tiny bit low. i went under the car this weekend and just bent the arms that stick into the rubber grommets under the car. i bent them down and to the right so it compensated and put the muffler in the right spot. i was gonna take it to the muffler shop but i figured i would try on my own. i use a wash cloth and a big *** set of channel locks. had it fixed in about 3 minutes. i will post up another pick of before and after the fix. and you are right alot of aftermarket exhaust have this issue but its a easy fix

Got an email from the seller. He said the $200 shipped was a promo they had. Guess they sold a few and raised the price.

Told him I only had $200 but thanks anyway lol!

Yeah I also emailed him and told him the same. Every time I look it seems to be getting higher. Should have, could have, didn't.

i hate this guy is driving up the price. i think anything past 300 is gonna steer people away. 250 isnt bad at all. the exhaust is well worth it. anything past that is gonna make people just wait for a used tanabe or something.

i am not getting a vibration to the guy who asked that question.

If the price goes up past $350, I'm just going to keep my HKS. And for the guy who asked if anyone else feels a vibration from the gas pedal after installing the exhaust, thats just a normal thing. Even with an intake such as the fujita/takeda/injen/afe, etc SRI's, you will feel a slight vibration in higher RPM's, except with the JoeZ intake because its just the tube.
