Oh my golly. What did you do to that poor car?! I'm still trying to figure out what's worse: the way too big, out of place, sticking out too far, fake dual-dual exhaust, the fake GTR emblym unsymmetrically placed under the keyhole, or the fact that you have an unnsymetrical, unused exhaust hole on the right. Oh brother.

Im sure you are happy with how it turned out or elese you wouldnt have put up the pics but, it would look dope as hell if you had the mufflers mountedhigher under the car. Right now it looks kinda like they are to low b/c you were not able to use the bumper cut outs. Why not use the money to fill the original cut out and have 2 larger ones made for the duals so you can mount them higher. Other than that your car looks great. I sewar black se's look like a totaly differnt car than any other max's. Thoes rims are great too, remind me a skyline. What bulbs do you have in the foggs do they match better to the HID's in life then in the pics? Later

as far as the lights go, none of the match, i have yellow fogs on the very bottom, and standard stock ones, need to order some ion yellow piaas and they should look better,

Since DTMs aren't my thing(not even a single DTM muffler) it doesn't look so hot to me. but if you like it than its all good! Personally I think it would have looked good with regular dual tip mufflers. IMO, DTM tips just don't go nice with our cars! Nice work though!

congrats on the job, don't listen to the negs, they look great, but I was wondering about the sound, how would it be different from a just a stock muffler, much louder? is it a bumblee bees can sound or a deep V-8 sound? Do you have instructions to your install? Also, I have a courtesy nissan B pipe with my HKS muffler, can I keep that B pipe or would I have to buy another to do duals? please let me know about the parts and instructionst, thanks.

Fake duals? ummm they are true duals piping running to both of them,
**** Like I said before, they're fake.
what's your muffler that looks like a chrome tip from pepboys, and unsymetrical? enlighten me on this one,
**** Well, you're right. That was two years, that was the prior owner's idea of 'performance' muffler. If you read the text and not just look at the pictures, you'd see I currently have a Dynomax SuperTurbo muffler. And, to answer you're second question, it is set back and as high up as possible, with the exhaust tip hidden. I am currently looking for a body shop I trust to fill in my half circle, thus symmetry when I am done.
and as for unused exhaust hole that will be fixed shortly,
**** Looks like we're in the same boat.
and I am sooooo sorry you have to drive an auto so you can diss me all you want to make yourself feel better
**** I loooove my automatic!! It's a luxury sedan, not a sports car. (Although I try to make it as fast a luxury sedan as I can ) I did without a car for over two months after I lost my Audi. I was sooooo picky. I could of got a stick shift but I passed. It had to be a mint, pearl white on black leather, fully loaded GLE or fully loaded automatic SE. After, 2 months worth of weekends and countless evenings of hunting, I finally found it! I wouldn't trade it for anything. So you're theory is wrong. I didn't diss you to make me feel better, I "dissed" you because that GTR emblym and exhaust is silly. You'll realize that later. Just please tell me why you would have a GTR emblym on your car. Please, because I really need to understand. Perhaps I am missing something?
oh and just saw your web site, does that wing help keep the azz end on the ground at your top speed of 120MPH
**** Of course not, and that's fine. I know that spoiler isn't for everyone. It was the best one I could find with only two legs (I don't like the 4-leg look) and no brake light. Not my ideal spoiler either. I can take any ridicule you want to give out. I think your rear looks silly and you think mine does. Fair enough.

::ahem::
"true dual exhaust" - two separate pipes running from each exhaust manifold going to two cats (optional H or X pipe somewhere in the middle). two separate pipes then running to two mufflers.
you sir do not have a "true dual exhaust" it's a single exhaust that's branched out to two mufflers after the single cat/b-pipe area.
doesn't look bad...not my style..but if it works for u.

I really dont take like to that, but if it works for you then, have fun!
Josh's car looks pretty nice, what is his drop, it looks good with the stock rims actually. He can be a sleeper and you wont know.

About the bees in the can, why don't you try header wrap. Not sure if that would work on your application. I had bees in the can with my ypipe and I wrapped the flex section with header wrap, no more bees.

You asked for opinions.....sorry, but I don't like the mufflers either. It's a bit too ricey and the whole DTM thing has been played out for quite a while now. Plus the mufflers look huge. The shift is now towards refined and subtle looks. BUT!! If you like it, then that's all that counts.
IMO, the best looking and performing dual setup would be a TRUE dual exhaust from the manifolds all the way back. This system would use 2" piping all the way back until finishing with a tucked up subtle appearing 2.5" slash cut stainless pipes (very similiar to the Mustang and BMW setups). The system would use bullet style cats and then short Flowmaster mufflers behind the bumper. The pipes would be stacked on top of one another running down the center tunnel (possibly side by side, plenty of room) with a short 1-1.5" equalizer tube between the pipe to equalize exhaust pulse. This setup should be relatively quiet. As for gains, that would be debateable.

Damn. Are those 18x8 Mille Miglia Evo5's you got on your car??? I love those damn rims. I am getting them asap with some kumho ecsta supras at 245/40r18... Let me know if that is what I am seeing in your pic...

it looks alright. its all about what floats your boat. i think the best looking dual exhaust set up is bigsadlers. his sh*t looks like it was meant to be, not added on. speaking of dual exhausts what ever happened to 5literkiller.

Re: well
my question to everyone saying that it isnt a true dual exhaust is:
Camaro SS boasts a dual exhaust setup, but yet it is split after cat.. i think there are 2 types of dual exhaust setups, either way is functional, it isnt like one muffler just sits there with no piping connecting it to the rest of the system.
our car's were not made to have a dual setup coming from the exhaust manifold, otherwise there would be room to run 2 inch piping somewhere under the car, and the gains probably wouldnt be all that substantial because of the way our engine is made to function...
i like DTM style mufflers and id like to see a couple of pictures of you looking down on the car so we can see how close the mufflers are to the bumpers and also some shots from the side and rear from up higher so it doesnt give the illusion of the mufflers hanging low.

ehh, i honestly thought it was a photoshop when i saw the pic in your sig before reading this post
I like how Duals look on a max, but the mufflers you used are totally not my style.. I like simpler, cleaner, more "tucked" look.. I would use something like the Apexi WS muffler style.. nice, not too big, polished muffler.
Still pretty cool, whatever floats your boat..
