we'll find out which one looks better, maybe I'll post side by side comparison picture later on.

But, my gf likes the ADR better loh, cause it's black, and she does not like the LM1 At ALL

I thought you had Lorinser turbine wheels in your garage before. I like the LM1s, but might like turbine wheels better

You should lower your car a little bit more. I think if you lower more, your car would look ALOT better than now, especially with all those mods you have right now

Yah, I still have that set in my garage, tires are on as well, so whenever i feel tire of this LM1, then I will switch to that set.

I know it will look a lot better if I lower the car, but that also makes it very hard to drive, so I'll pass on that for now..

It must be nice huh to have so many sets of wheels LOL

I remember your muffler is already sitting pretty low too and if you lower your car, you might scrape it all the time..

alternative would be instead of one muffler you can run two Magnaflow resonators which is much smaller than the muffler.

thinking about doing something to my muffler again.
What do you guys think about this idea.
I believe you guys have seem my exhaust setup before, I have a small resonator before the tips on both side, I am thinking about cut it off and replace with 2 SISO muffler, not sure if it's gonna fit the right side though, so it will have 2 tips rather than 4 tips.

or, should I just leave it as is??

Looks really good, I love wheels with huge faces on sedans Although it could use more of a drop.
