Re: I'm having a custom exhaust done on the R (mpdbrown)
Yeah, I know it is. How many SDM exhausts have you seen? Haven't seen anyone else with a custom or after market exhaust I have liked yet. You know VST is a Japan company so I don't see why that would be a big deal. I'm not sure if I'll go with the carbon or just the regular. The carbon might be too much for the car.

I know you didn't indicate one way or another, but if it's not mandrel bent -- don't do it.<p>-Eric

i think it is much better to have a custom job only if u REALLY TRUST the people working on the car. when i had my res removed i was able to talk to the guy doing the job before he started to work. i also stood next to him the whole time to make sure everything was perfect. i even got to drive it up the lift.

Here are quick and dirty photos. Sorry my car and the tips are dirty due to the rain. I am really happy with the fabrication of the cut out. The shop rolled the body kit to match the other side. I am also impressed with the quality of the exhaust work. <p>2.5 inch pipes to dual magnaflow mufflers. (not pictured)<p><br><IMG SRC="http://creativevideogroup.smugmug.com/photos/475890223_HDDbj-L.jpg" BORDER="0"><p><IMG SRC="http://creativevideogroup.smugmug.com/photos/475892456_gKvrE-L.jpg" BORDER="0"><p><IMG SRC="http://creativevideogroup.smugmug.com/photos/475902640_juGZQ-L.jpg" BORDER="0"><p>With the dual magnaflow mufflers (not pictured) it is the perfect setup.

Re: I'm having a custom exhaust done on the R (SHOlover)
