Looks and sounds good

I did the same setup with the exception of dual tips instead of quads. The only bad thing about running two pipes on the 05 model is you lose a lot of backpressure at low rpms, and its quite noticeable esp cuz you have the I4 engine. But you'll def feel a pull at higher rpms

Ohhh I like the way yours looks!

I honestly don't feel a loss of back pressure at low RPMs
But yeah I love the noise

Im not sure how much the tips came out too, but the place I went to to get it all installed supplied me with them.
He said it was his favorite type of tips

HELP!

One of my friends can hook me up with a pair of Hankook v12's installed and everything for 448 out the door

American Tires is willing to give me 430 for BF Goodrich tires

Which one would you guys go for?
I'm not interested in tires that are going to last a very long time because I am planing on getting my friends' rims in a couple months

But I would love some input

My 800 dollar Michelin tires only lasted 9,000 miles
So my dad did some complaining and got a big discount on a new set,
Just got some cheap tires for now till I get new rims
