honestly how much difference can that thin flat piece of metal make ? If I get hit that hard I don't think missing that section of metal will make any difference. That metal that was cut out is very thin back there.

I'll never understand why the altima and maxima got dual exhaust and we didn't. I mean I know why...it just looks stupid. I'm just a big fan of symmetry I guess.

I love the "start engine" sound. Just like a coupe.

The muffler hangs really low though. Any scrapes?

I timed your 0-100 and it took 19 seconds.

Not being sarcastic. I guess you didn't floor it all the way? I hope you did that on an open road.
