the pictures are too tiny... 
anyways, was that your first time painting calipers? it looks a little heavy in certain places, but overall great job! ive use the duplicolor caliper paint system on a srt4's OEM calipers and it came out great. for 10 or 11 bucks, you really can't beat DC's kit. (DC=duplicolor)

long headache story ... but to simplify it dealer forgot to give me a wheel lock key when purchased... then realized the entire dealer only had on available as a service tool... cant take the wheels off just painted with them on in between the spokes... need to get them off... just need to find time.

Not a fan of the exhaust tip, but how does it sound?
LOL @ you being so impatient to paint the calipers that you couldn't wait to take the wheels off!

love being FEDEX driver... get hook ups everywhere... well almost as long as its on my route.
oh... yeah... i didnt know what the freakin key is like... nor the tourque setting on the lugs... and... thought i was better at painting... oh well... as long as its better than stock im ok!

i agree with the stock tip but anyways i have a magnaflow and i have the 14815 and they are twin tips i think they look great! Advans have seen them in person not too big and not too small
i'm sure it sounds great tho! anyways it will get a quieter within a week or 2. do you have the street series also?

but i did think about getting a dual outlet tip like the 07 has... may be ill get it changed after few months.
ill get a sound clip going... but i only have a sony cybershot at the moment to record sound we will see how that turns out.
sound wise... satisfied 100% with price tag i paid 120%
it was nice sound when i first got them... but had issues with drones on the hwy around 65 - 70 mph / 2k - 3k rpm range. so i went ahead and got a resonator placed in before the muffler and now it sounds great and lost the drone... but now its really really really quiet above 3k rpm kinda sucks at times.

ooooh, can i get your stock tips if you still have em around? i just need some tips thats all!
and btw, i really like the tips you have on now, contrary to what a lotta people said on here. although it didn't fill out the outlet, i think it looks real nice
