It just seems kinda low for those pics. Also a nice side pic and a angle side/back pic would be nice. Thanks
okay will do. at some point today.

Not sure if these are the angles you were looking for.

Great shots! The more I look at this, the more I like it. I dont find the canisters too intrusive at all, and its pretty cheap for what it is!

Did you notice a noticeable difference in power after the install?

It isn't large enough of a gain to notice anything. AND yes RallySport's introductory price on these cannot be beat by anyone, especially with a quality product from HKS. Fwiw, you're also getting some weight reduction with this exhaust. The stock muffler weighs a ton. My brother found out the hard way when the one side fell and landed on his cheek lol.

It looks like it's sitting way to low to look good with the bumper...Needs to be tucked about 1inch?





Looks like the system is much better tucked against the bumper on HKS pic than yours.

Kan you take a "copy" Picture of the HKS picture but of your car?

I don't know how in the HKS photo it is fit so tight but there's no way we could adjust it so it fit the bumper more snug.

Great pics, those are exactly the kind of pictures people would like to see before purchasing the system. This way this gives them an idea what people on the street and cars behind them will see as they are driving around.

I think the factory hangers for the system might be hanging a bit low. The sales picture was probably a prototype of the system and since then they lowered the piping to clear some heating issues with the tips being too close to the bumper and melting the rubber. That's just a theory.

I wonder if there is a way to bend those hangers more to push the canister higher more into the top.

hangars can be bent by a simple heating by a hair dryer or heat gun. i'd definitely pull those canisters up about .5-1" up. especially if you're lowered.
and the price.. oh my that's amazing!
