Looks good. I did the same thing, well kind of. I got tired of the Evo rear section and went back to stock, with some chrome tips. Not as nice as the ones you got, but they aren't too bad. It feels like I'm driving a new car again, I love it.

Are you taking it off because of what people have told you?

No i am not taking it off because of what people said it hangs too low for one i dont like to have to worry about it draging and i dont like seeing that much of the muffler. Plus i have headers and the muffler is really loud even with the silencer in so i wan some peace and quite. plus i like the dual tip look better on our cars. thanks for all the comments.

Dammit, Now you got me thinking about getting these tips instead of the plain looking ones I got Do you have any more pics of the muffler with the tips on?

looks real good. I would tend to think with your headers you'd go ahead with a full catback? I really suggest you just go ahead and get the cattman rear section, it seems you already got the b pipe so it would sound great. I have that setup (hot shot and cattman catback) and it sounds great!
