Haha... yeah sorry, I guess I just really like the smooth look and was trying to figure out what rear bumper that was, and kinda forgot about the burnt part... lol

The bumper's an OEM part that I modified with urethane repair compound. I filled it from the rear, then shaved off the bump strips.

I don't want to hijack the thread, so PM me if you need more info.

2.5" Thrush muffler with a turn down. I'm not really a fan of it so when I get a new muffler I'll probably throw a twin tip on there.

I would not recommend a chambered steel only muffler such as a flowmaster... i had that underneath previously.... very very tinny/ tingy sounding... a straight though ss bullet underneath was much quieter than that... that was on a 2.5in system with RB header and ricer straight through on back with 5 in tip... it was really loud either way..

Mine's V6-swapped so no sound issues here lol. Even with no cat, my exhaust really isn't too loud or obnoxious surprisingly.

The power is good, tons of torque. The only real downside is the rear end gears are way too short for a motor that only turns 5000rpm.

Best pic I have:

Name: 06-5.jpg Views: 109 Size: 91.2 KB

Racing beat muffler with down-under style dumpy tip. I like it.


This is the old setup:
Name: 04.jpg Views: 131 Size: 74.1 KB

I didn't like how small the muffler was, and I really didn't like how loud it was. The tip is actually the same, I cut it off this muffler and welded it onto the new one. This time, however, it's pointed straight down, I didn't like the side-dump look.
