Definitely sharp looking, but for me, the rear valence would be a must, can't just have a original hole for the exhaust there, it would look pretty odd

Yes it does look odd. I don't think I like it. But if the back end was made for that exhaust, it would look great!

That bottom picture is of a different system. It's been long enough now that I forget, but I think it's Eisnhaus or Kellners or something.

I dont believe the Hartge exhaust adds horsepower, according to that article that was posted here so what's the point really. Besides looks and sound. Looks expensive too. Just my 2 cents

Grinder-
You are correct- sharp eyes, the lower system has dual exhaust pipes that are placed more to the outer sides than the Bird/Hartge system.
Please see the mini2 thread for clarification of what the second system is. Thanks.

They do look pretty good, but I like the Magnaflow trumpets better.

Hello all-

The upper pics were from a Bird designed 4 outlet exhaust that isn't much louder than stock and doesn't really do much for HP. So I guess all looks and no clean valence- but maybe that will come.

Here is another pic of it-
