Sorry, it's just a bad angle. The tips are same length.

Once I take it off AGAIN I'm going to begin polishing it, and I'll take a pic with the inline muffler in it then. It's extremely light as well. I love it. Fitment is great, sound is great. So it's probably going to be done after the polish. Also after I installed the muffler I fixed the sagging passenger side tip.

Forgot to ask, can everyone see the sound clip ok?

Also, this is my first time making an exhaust so all the kind words are greatly appreciated. As well as any feedback. Unfortunately since I haven't done this before a few of the welds aren't the prettiest due to poor fitment between the two pipes. But all said and done, it turned out pretty well I think. I'll get some weld close ups soon.

Looks like crap and I bet it sounds like crap and falls apart during normal driving. Ethan could have made that with Lincoln logs and glue.

Just kidding bro looks good. If I didn't go ahead and buy Perrin I drive up there to make one with you for me!

speaking of which do they still make lincoln logs? If so I'm going to go buy the little guy some.

I'll weld you a set of metal Lincoln logs.

I love the simplicity. If I had any fabrications skills at all, I think my design would be the same.

I think that sounds great.

That sounds burly! Love it.

My only gripe would be that it doesn't tuck up under the rear bumper more. The pic of your previous catback seems like that one is a bit more hidden, which is something I like personally.

Why? I was looking at the underside of my car last night (swapped RSB) and thought "gee, there could totally be a diffuser under here without that huge muffler!" But any exhaust would need to be up and out of the way.

I really dig the simplicity and sound. It could use a resonator up front for DD duty, but if your neighbors don't care...

You know that's exactly what I was thinking. Once I get my muffler delete I'm going to look into making a diffuser. Not only will it make the car look fantastic, but it will be much better than the sorry excuse for the subaru diffuser. Unless someone is willing to post up a picture of the subaru diffuser that can be purchased (I think it is quite narrow and purely for ascetics).
