Mean sounding nevertheless

No problem, however like I said it is hardly noticeable, if you just give it a tiny bit of gas it goes away. I drove for a while on the highway yesterday and it was great. I highly recommend the exhaust.

A TINY bit, but it really isn't any big deal. No noticeably annoying drone.

Thanks, i was curious if you used vinyl... I think i'm gonna paint my stockies all black and use vinyl stripes. Did you paint the wheels yourself?

Nope, a shop did it for me. If you go to pep boys the sell pin-striping tape, it took us literally 15 minutes to put it on and it looks perfect.

I actually had the entire light painted but I didn't like it so I took it off but left the sides and bottom, kind of looks cool.

Mark,

1. HKS is the ****.
2. Glad you love the exhaust and deal.
3. The wheels look hot, very nice way to keep it unique.
4. I really need to move down to florida. So much more peaceful looking than being here in the city! hahah

Enjoy!!
