Thanks, I will take a clip once they settle down a bit.

Happy with them besides the fact that the left muffler sits at a weird angle compared to the right which sits perfectly :? Hopefully won't be to hard to fix though

As mentioned before tyres are 225/40/18 on the 18x8 wheels

Falken FK452's, probably wouldn't go back and buy them again though

just wondering why you aren't keen on these tyres, i run them, because i could get them for cost price at the time, but i havent had the GT with any other tyres on them. No grip or are they just too noisy? thats the only complaint i have for them.

Finding the FK452's are good but since the suspension mods and pushing the car further they arn't a high performer. Not bad for price ($250 a tyre) though

Have you tried Potenza RE-01R?

Few people I know use and love them.

The exhaust sounds a bit louder then it normally does as the car was under the carport.

Happy with them but the LH muffler sits on a angle which will need to be fixed as the hangers and bolts only slightly correct it.

Also applied some Opticoat to the exhaust so they are easy to clean :D

Sound great on the twin scroll Hamish.

How do you plan to correct how the left muffler hangs? The angle of the photo probably makes it look worse than it is in real life, but knowing that you detail cars and are likely to be a perfectionist when it comes to yours, I can understand how it would bother you.

Sometimes being a perfectionist is annoying and expensive but as Mark said will have to take it to someone that will either reweld the inlet or drill new bolt hole but don't think it will be a big job as it's not way out of line but noticeable.

Equal Length Headers FTW ! nice sounding system there, i much prefer it over unequal length for a daily driver.
