Just remove the resonators and weld in the x pipe in place.

not happy with the wheel color. not satin at all in my opinion, looks semi-gloss and almost a midnight blue finish. think the coverage on the powdercoating what shiitty and didnt cover the silver entirely. going to have to get them painted matte and powdercoated again

anyway, a picture

edit: big THANK YOU to LightWerks for his capacitor mod for the LED tails. NO dash lights, NO flickering, NO issues. car is a 2006.

Looks good but I can see what you mean about the gloss.

I was going to go with black wheels had I found a silver car, nice work.

Weasel will become famous soon enough
Call me crazy but I really don't care for the satin finish wheels and prefer gloss black over flat... Either way it looks great, especially the smoked red tail lights! (I need to get mine re-sprayed to match my headlights with the auto paint)
