I was just looking through your thread, man your car is so clean! Nice job with everything

So the way you piped it and the way rollnnn piped it is the way to not lose back pressure?

the way Arekux's c32 is set up, with the pipe fitted on the right of the spare, loses pressure?
Example

because to my knowledge my exhaust guy is doing Arekux's type of setup, no muffler + res, fitted in between the passenger side of the tire

I'll see forsure in a week!

Aha thanks man. Me and rollnnn have the same set up just minus the tips.

The C32 set up is perfectly fine also, no loss of pressure. A loss of pressure would only happen if the muffler on the left ran an outlet pipe all the way back around the wheel well instead of going between it and the bumper.

Yours should have no problems at all.

I love the sound it makes at 0:37, nice

But yeah mines going to be a widepipe magnaflow+a res, no muff, and quad tips

Would that even pass a california smog test?

I used to think it looked ugly with out the badges but after putting all that stuff on the back of my car, in person it really looks a lot cleaner when you take them off

Planning on making the hood emblem black now

These 18 inch rims
I'm looking at, say I may require 5mm spacers so it doesn't touch my breaks..

Is that for front and back? or just front 5mm spacers
