Just got my exhaust done today, 2 days ahead of schedule! Custom Single 2.5" Flowmaster system with 2 tail pipes, (The 3" turned out to be a bitch to bend). It never sounded better! I love it! As stated in another thread,:

If you want to hear my new exhaust, click here.

I left the tailpipes a little long so I had room to move and cut them once my body kit goes on so don't flame me on it.
I'll post more pics once I scrub the underside of the car. It's very dirty and quite frankly, after I cleaned everything else in the car so far, I'm embarrassed by it.

I know, call me freak.

Did you need to relocate the fuel pump to get this to fit?

I've been thinking about doing it, but cutting apart the spare tire well or moving the fuel pump is just....well...hack!

DarkOne,

That looks really good.

How did you route the right tail pipe?

Behind the bumper, the way Satish did his, or by the fuel pump?

I didn't like the idea of a 90 degree bend at the bumper so, I squeezed it past the fuel pump. I moved the fuel pump back a few inches as well. A few stratigic bends and I cleared it. It's not as pretty as I'd like, But I got it done. When I get my Twin turbos from Jonathan, I will totally move the fuel pump and filter so I can make it prettier. I just did this as a temparary fix for now. I'm also in the process of making a heatshield for the pump as an extra precaution. Ok I'll post 2 pics. but don't look at the dirt please. I need to scrub the whole underside of the car with soap and a brush before I'm comfortable.

So here's your 500 SEC upskirt photos. Enjoy

Here are some more pics I dug up of the interior in case you missed it on my interior thread. All cleaned and absolutely perfect. needs nothing except maybe new mats. they are good, but good isn't good enough at this point.



Enjoy!

Wow...seriously nice work.

I am attempting to do something similar but in a slightly different direction. I have spent the past year applying a thin layer of oily grease to my entire engine and bay area. The road dust and small bits of asphalt have not been easy to get correct but I think they are a fine addition to the overall look so far. I am thinking of doing some more work on it today.

The temps are supposed to be in the 70's and I might have to put the top down as I 'work' on it. Pics might be available if I park it before nightfall.

DarkOne, I bow to your devotion and wish I had half your determination!

Thanks for all the compliments. They really keep me going and motivated. In case you missed some of my other threads, here are some pics after a claybar and liquid glass.
Sorry for the tons of shots, but most of you say, the more the better so, here goes. And these pics do not do it justice.
