Parts

Blake, post some pictures of the exhaust and the grills you bought. An exhaust was my favorite addition to my car. Especially the backfiring sound when you let off the gas. Before my car did not do that and I was dissappointed. I am thinking about either wheels or a DFIC, but I am not sure.

Yeah post some pics. Since we have the same color, anything you do to your car, I may consider on mine. How do you like the M7 exhaust? What color are the tips?

I will. I'm transfering them to my comp right now...

I love the exhaust. it is really loud and deep. I can feel my car rev faster now, as well... The tips are black, and they look NICE. So do the grills.

IF YOU PAINT THE RADIATOR IT WILL NOT SHOW THROUGH THE GRILL AS SILVER. UNLESS YOU LIKE THAT LOOK.

Wish I Had A Connection That Would Let Me Listen.
If I Tryed To Listen It Might Be Finished Downloading By The Time The Restaurant Opens.
And A Faster Connection Is Not An Option At This Time.

Thanks for posting, the exhaust does sound deep. At some points in the video, it almost sounded like a V8, Cool.

28 MINUTES TO DOWNLOAD
SOUNDS GREAT
DID YOU HOLD THE CAMERA IN YOUR TEETH?
OR DID YOU HAVE A PASSENGER? SOUNDED LIKE YOU MIGHT HAVE A CLEANUP ON THE PASSENGER SEAT "WHOA WHOA THAT WAS SCARY"

Lol. Ya, my friend had never been on that road before and he saw a "Road Closed" sign right before a turn where it looked like the road had ended, so he thought we were going to die...

Croc hunter.

What a shame, that the crocodile hunter died. He had big huevos to study all those dangerous animals. I really used to like watching his show when I was younger.

Somehow a sting ray got at at just the right angle to send its stinging barbed tail to his heart. I was really dissapointed to hear that especially since he had been doing stuff like that for so long.
