Really hard to get used to single tip. Its growing on me though, I bet it sounds good.

 

Prolly one of the best non-noticeable mods. One reason I will prolly never get exhaust is because the big chrome mufflers are too gaudy and hang too low.

 

That's another thing I like about the MD VQ. Even though the muffler's polished it's significantly smaller than the stock muffler, the HKS, and by the look of Marcus' exhaust the Tanabe single tip.

 

^^ I like the way that one sits.

 

Yup MD muffler is way smaller than most other exhausts. Piping hangs too low though for me I'd destroy it. I remember the dual tips being different than the HKS style too (the way it was welded to the muffler), which I preferred over the MD.

 

looks good marcus...once i get the lip installed i will adjust mine as well.

 

I had it raised 3/4" after it was installed because it hung too low, but it sits nice now.


Heard. I, too, like the HKS tips a little better but gladly sacrifice that for the performance the MD brings to the table.

 

Cool Gabe. Have whoever mods it remove a 5/8 to 3/4" section from the muffler hangers.

 

3/4" seems to be where its at I did notice how yours looked way better than other MD exhaust I've seen. Nice work Tim.

 

Thanks I was surprised at how easy the fix was. The hangers on the exhaust were bent slightly upwards (that's how they were built) so all my muffler shop did was heat the supports with a torch until they were red hot and bend them down. Worked like a charm and cost me all of $30. Apologies for the Driod pics.

 

You guys are luck there are almost no shops around that suppor mods or work with aftermarket parts by me there's a place called Tune time which has an awesome reputation, and people go there from all over the tristate but their prices are so outta wack they almost out price the worth of the part

 

ugh! finally!

 

You gotta tuck that VQ under a Nismo lip!

 

If you're talking about the new Strafe lip, I'm waiting to see finished product before I commit. The current pics make it look awkward on the 05-06 bumper, too bulky and too much going on back there. We'll see what a finished, painted, and installed piece looks like. But if I do that, then of course I'll need Nismo sides and a repair/repaint of my whole front end. So my little $300 lip would end up costing me over $1000 in the end, FML.

 

Hell its only money


Well I worked in my garage for a few hours last night and polished the upper half of my timing cover came out good but not the best yet ... give me a week ill post a little pic today
