Marcus,

After driving some more, how do you like the sound? Does it drone at all?

I haven't drive the car enough yet to tell but I dont recall there being an annoying level of drone. I've only driven less than 10mi since I put the exhaust on and I'm out of town right now. Will post up more impressions on the exhaust after I've driven it more.

^In addition, don't forget some exhausts have a bit of a 'break-in' where they're louder/more drone for the first few weeks.

For sure Ash, I hope it stays at this level of loudness though cause its sooo dope with the ART pipes. Sounds like a Coupe aftermarket exhaust.

So my dad installed his ART pipes today, they are B-E-A-UTIFUL. They aren't much louder at idle, but when you step on it, that motor just screams! i think you and my dad have the same exhaust setup now...

the medalion touring is known to have little no no drone (I have it myself on my rx7 and everyone knows that rotaries are loud) but its very quiet and has no drone even with a high flow cat. When I take my precat out, that may be another situation.

If there is any drone on this setup, it may be because of the ART pipes. just my .02

I know I'm late to the party. Wheels look great.

And I just KNEW that S-Drives had to stretch large, especially compared to the Toyo Extensa stretch.

Dang Gabe I didn't know you were at 9.5 +0 up front. What is your offset in the rear? The only reason I don't need more camber at +5 is because my fronts are flared from rubbing constantly with a 225/35 on at 8.5+0....LOL.

Thanks man, yeah you totally called it a couple months ago when you told me they run large. I still don't think they would be considered large like a General, but definitely not true-true more like true-large. I really like the stretch on these wasn't looking for anything crazy I definitely wanted/needed more stretch though than my previous setup and this amount is perfect.
