After waiting 4 months for my diffuser and finally getting all the other parts together and painted, the car is just about finished with the biggest project I've ever been a part of.

Picked up the car today after three days at the body shop. They hacked off my muffler to make the dual diffuser work. The JGMODS rep bumper fit beautifully, the paint is perfect, and the diffuser lines up seamlessly.

So right now I'm running around with the muffler chopped off. Sound is awesome except for at 1.5k rpm under load, there is a really bad tinny sound like a quarter rattling loudly in the rear seats. Not sure if there actually is some loose change rattling around anywhere or not lol.

My plan is to get a magnaflow muffler and 2nd cat delete. That all is scheduled for Tuesday. Cyba 4 inch tips are all good to go.

Here are the pics of the car currently.

I haven't driven or rev'd at WOT but overall the exhaust is nice and deep/throaty and burbles. I love it. Only weird spot is the 1.5-1.8k rpm range when under load. Something is ringing and sounds very tinny.

My car was rear ended and back at the body shop now. So I can't get pics for a while. They simply removed the shields that were in the way on the right side.

Nice! I absolutely love the muffler delete! So I'd like to not add a magnaflow muffler, the burbles when I let off the accelerator are intoxicating. And the volume/drone is surprisingly tolerable.

No my car has been back in the body shop for the last 3 weeks because I was rear ended. Still going to follow up whenever its ready. My plan is to keep the muffler delete and delete the 2nd cats
