Cool Few need pics and vids of my SE

Gave it a good 'spring cleaning' and went out and took some pics.

Washed the car with regular car cleaner
Used claybar on on horizontal surfaces
Used rubbing compound to remove oxidation
Finally gave it too coats of wax and polished it














Video of new exhaust. Pretty much all I changed was a racing beat muffler.

Mine is the 2.5" and I LOVE it. Brought the noise down a lot and still has a decent tone. Where it really counts is up top though, because there is no rasp at all. You just get that awesome 'rotary' sound that's like a high-pitched vibration. Best I can describe it I guess. It's not as ballsy sounding at low RPM but I can at least not worry about being pulled over.
