we rotated the muflers under the car to gain clearance to the tires

as a result one of the tail pipes doesnt fit and needs to be redone

and whats this the biggest surprise of all

to reduce intake noise at high revs ie on the highway, and it works brilliantly as at the moment i only have the fronts installed but i could hear them clearly at 100km/h and the stereo was only on 14 and it goes to 35
