Try to get it up more. Try cutting the hangers some to have it sit higher. And I would paint it a flat black..

I painted my tanabe racing medealion, intercooler end caps and pipes black with plastic-kote engine enamel. Been 6 months with no problems yet. Going for the sleeper look.

p.s. I've never painted a muffer, but DEI makes black silicon paint for headers. I put some (silver colour) on my headers (ss) and straight pipe (plain steel) and neither show any wear after 2 months.

reason I wanted to paint them black is for less show. THe damn things hang a little too low for look but they're fine with driving. I'm going to take it to the muffler shop and see if they can raise it up a little..I doubt it though..
it's SS so it doesn't rust...I live in texas...hardly anything ever rusts over here anyways...

Paint it Red to match your car's color and put a bigger tip on that can. LOL

The shinning SS looks too ricey...should I spray paint it back and hopefully it'll look alittle more like stock?

I donno, I think the paint will burn/flake off and look crappy. I think it looks fine now. Needs a bit of a wash though. http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

I've haven't heard about anybody with one of those Mugen type "double pass" mufflers. How do you like it? Is it pretty quiet? Lots less than the $1000 Mugen wants for theirs, huh?

Much love to the imports :p

the twin loop design is bad ass..I love the sound of it...cruise or idle, the sound is stock or may be a little louder..but when you punch it, it's deep deep sound...now, if I can get it to hang a little higher, i'd be happy...I guess I stop by the muffler shop tomorrow.

Okay, I took it to the muffler shop and finally got it to move up about anther 2" or so..the loop is complete hidden beneath the bumper...the muffler actually looks NORMAL now. I think i'll leave it polish like that since it doesn't look out of place anymore..I'll get some pics up soon.
