Aero Grill and magnaflow exhaust!

Just installed new aero grill thanks to a fellow motorer who traded grills with me! Also got custom Magnaflow installed, didnt have enough money to bring the pipes around the battery on both sides with dual tips so for now I just had him bring it around one side with no tip. but as soon as i get more money it will be dual. should look very nice.
it sounds AMAZING. very loud no resonator. about 40lbs lighter and its a bit quicker now too. i love it!

I went to my exhaust man and was showing him my car explaining how I can only find the expensive dual muffler kit and dont have that much money for an exhaust right now and he custom made me a setup using the round magnaflow muffler right in the center before the battery then wrapping pipe around. it works good and is lighhhht as all hell. plus sounds amazing.
yeah the aero kit is so amazing i love it.
thanks!

BEFORE / AFTER PICS.
Remember I need to weld tips on still. But you can see that the pipe is as big as the stock beercan tips were so it already looks better, But could use some nice chrome ! ps i lovvvvvvve the aero grill woww.

If I were you, I'd pull off the lower grill, and either take some electrical tape, or paint the blue underneath. Otherwise, looks awesome!

The grill turned out great. Glad to hear it wasn't too hard to cut the holes out.

shucks, now YOU'RE making me wanna get an aero grille looking good!

i too have a custom exhaust but with a powerflow design muffler made by the shop itself. nice aggressive tone to it. i was gonna get a universal magnaflow muffler like what you did but couldn't wait for it to arrive from the U.S.
