I hear ya on that note, but I'm a stainless whore. The entire system is stainless, from the V-band adapter to the hangers. It's all stainless, why cheap out on the tips?

I wouldn't worry about the tips being shiny though, if they are larger than 3", than yea..maybe, but otherwise, most every new car has 2.5-3" polished exhaust anyway. LEOs just don't want to see the cans hanging way down and a loud note, thats what gets the attention.

Well.. I don't think the loud note is going to get me and the cans aren't hanging way down. It's just the amount of muffling devices I have in the car are rather big so they peak out from under the car a little. I think the only way to remedy it is to actually redo the down pipe, re orient the RB pre-silencer and shift it forward, bringing the 1-2 muffler forward and running new 2.5in pipes to the cans mounted the way I want. It's the only way I can think of doing it... which might mean I need to redo the turbo manifold to mount the wastegate a little better.

Where did you get the work done? Back in blacksburg or near culpeper?

Near Blacksburg. Honestly the mechanic is not at fault in this. I recommend his shop to anyone and everyone that wants good work done for a fair price. It just wasn't in the price range for a complete exhaust overhaul.

Pics or it didn't happen, lol....

I'll get pics as soon as I get the car back. Apparently it was the alternator. The cool thing is the mechanic is able to replace it under warranty, so I get a nice new alternator for free! w00t. I'll also need to order the parts for the FD alt I have sitting in pieces on my desk. I'm tired of not having enough amps.

I've also started working on the base map for the EMS. I'm taking the base map from the Sprint EMS and upping the resolution and applying a correction percentage for my injector size (more details on how I'm doing that in the tuning section if you're curious).
