Haha, no, not stuck at all. Was no scraping whatsoever to park in that spot smile.gif. Just wanted to snap a pic with my new phone. Also thought the comparison with the monster truck in the background was kind of funny.

For the exhaust, I am replacing my muffler with that, correct.

my idea nearly exactly with that exhaust for the beams.... 3sge/gte duals ftw
Yeah, it shall be sick!

Im speaking with a local fabricator and we are going to try out some different ways to fit it. Honestly at this point, I am considering making a small exhaust cutout in my bumper and tilting it up slightly and possibly outward a couple inches as well. Going to see how I can get it to look without the cutout too. But as much as I don't want to cut my bumper, in my mind it will probably look the best. Kind of how aero kits on drift cars have exhaust cutouts, but not quite as drastic.

center it out of the bumper? or mold something to the bumper to make it lower to level out the exhaust. sorry throwing out ideas. thatd be alot of work.
Not going to center. Will come out the regular exhaust side on Celicas.

Making a lip would be sweet, but I like the splitters and would have to remove them. But yeah, that would be sweet. Pretty sure Diegohiga's custom lip has an exhaust cutout iirc, I would love something like that, but I would rather have a fiberglass or urethane removable lip as opposed to something permanent.

Theres this, but I'm not particularly fond of it.. And Chaser Aero fits like sh!t.

Hmm, like I said, still conjuring ideas in my head, haha.

My buddy and I just got done playing some disc golf and the sun was just setting, so I decided to snap a picture on the way back to the cars. His is a twin turbo T-top model Z32. Pretty soon we will both be rocking the isis dual tip that I just got, only he will have quad tips biggrin.gif.

Got my exhaust welded on! I spent awhile deciding how I wanted it to be mounted, and am very happy with how it turned out. It looks way better in person, pics don't really do it much justice imo. So sorry for the pic overload, I tried capturing it at a couple decent angles.

















Looks pretty OEMish from behind wink.gif.

Yo that dual tip is SICK bro.

I like it a lot, a bit deeper and a bit louder. Going to sound even better when I go full 3 inch with my 3sgte. biggrin.gif

Why you staying 2.5"? Convenience? It won't be bad, just 3" is better tongue.gif.

Thank you! I'm extremely happy it came out the way I envisioned. Was kind of hard since it seems like all of the other cars that go with this style exhaust have exhaust cutouts in their bumper or aero bumpers to add to the effect or the company makes the full exhaust for them so the exit is already "chosen" where as I bought just the tips. It took me like 15-20 minutes just lining it up to be welded because I wanted it to look a certain way, like I said, I'm glad it came out the way it did.

I'll still say it doesn't look nearly as good in these pics as in person.

I'll get some sound clips soon also.

Wow, awesome! Thanks man! biggrin.gif

So, I went to make a sound clip and the only sound my phone vid camera could capture is idle, everything else just sounds crackly, haha. So I either gotta find a new camera or step up to drivebys, I'll figure something out!

2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 12014 Toyota Rav4 XLE
Drive bys are the best. Only if tripple digits are involved! Kidding. Dont speed. Its illegal.
So this is nothing exciting, but like I said all I could capture was idle sound. Decided to post because I think it sounds cool, haha.



This was at Formula D Seattle last weekend, I'm only 10 minutes away from the track, so I go every year for both days. biggrin.gif
