For those of you who haven't seen The Burz recently, I picked up some wheels and rubber a few weeks ago:

Yup. Love the sound. Though the HKS is one I went back and forth with before I got my Tanabe

Anybody know of a good exhaust shop in the East Bay that won't screw me over on getting custom tips done? Looking to get Invidia N1 my setup with quad tips.

Yeah, I like the HKS but it looks like that rear pipe hangs really low and I bet it would scrape easily.

The Greddy looks amazing but I'm worried about the fact that it's 3" versus 2.5".

Trying to figure out if it would be louder or quieter than my current 2.5" dual canister system which doesn't actually have mufflers, since they are technically just vibrant resonators.

Wish there was a "try before you buy" program for exhausts! I doubt I'd be able to sell my SRT catback since the slip joints are welded and it's just one long piece. Difficult to transport/install/uninstall.

So this happened...

Still havent installed the rears quite yet. So no photos yet of the car before and after yet.

Not much being just a catback. 3in sounds nice imo. But yeah, the look and low hanging was what put me against the HKS since I actually liked the sound better. Was the same on my STi. Liked my Carbon-ti but it looked dumb to me.

Plus on the twins I like left side single exit for some reason. Haha

Can't help but think "Why did he have to take his shoes off to take the pic?"

But seriously though, based on the color, I'm guessing Tein springs?

If you look ever so close enough..... My shoes are still on my feet. I was sitting up against the wall to take the picture.

I almost did a spit take after seeing the $7.5k price tag, but then realized it was in AUD (still, $5.3k USD is not cheap). I've driven a car with straight gears before (all the dirtfish cars have them). When they say you "bang through the gears" they're not kidding! You think getting a mis-shift oon regular helical gears are bad...
