Some really nice touches there Mason. I like it. The black grille is a winner too. That was one of the things I was going to do if I didnt get the grille I have now.

Nice car Mason

Couple of questions about the X-Force Mid and Y-pipes you bought, did you buy them separately from Best mufflers? I'm thinking of getting them but I want to use my own mufflers not theirs.
How do you think they are quality wise?

Yeah I did get them separately, the mufflers were from Ultrex. The quality is really good, but I have had some issues recently. The factory cat has this flange that sticks out to pair up with the stock midpipe, but when the new xforce midpipe was put in, the diameter was too small to fit fully over the flange.It still retains its seal, but it still isn't a direct fit like I thought it would be. Also since the stock system had spring loaded bolts for when it is under load, and this one uses a flex joint, it tends to hit against the metal underbody of the car when reversing up a hill for example.

Ok thanks, a bit annoying that I can't just buy the mid and Y-pipe for the turbo in 3" like you did though. Might see if I can get rid of the flex joint during fitting as I think it may need to be trimmed to fit to my dump + cat
