Kinda miss mine. I sold it cuz it was a bit loud in the cabin and switched to hks legamax.

Btw is it just me or is the shape of the exhaust not a perfect circle? kinda like it was pushed in or dented at the top left corner near the 10 o'clock position

Yeah it's pushed in cause the exhaust tip is not on I was putting on but took it off cause I don't want to draw to much attention in NY, it's bad enough that its loud...

It will melt your shroud in a day or two without the tip.

because of the heat... you might notice the color of the shroud will go from black to a grayish color too

Without the extension of the tip the heat rises up directly into the plastic. After almost no time it will start to melt and disfigure. Ask me how I know.

Dude thanks, I drove it for a just one day without it and I see what you mean about melting the shroud, I just installed the tip car still sounds amazing, hopefully the cops in NY don't start to bother me...

I have the dual-muffler MS catback and I encourage you not to. Its plenty free-flowing enough. Just get a quality midpipe like the BHR (what I have) or the Racing Beat.
