Ok them I would go to exhaust works if u want quality work! They put on my buddies full custom titanium exhaust on his 350z. They did a good job! But try and see if they can maybe do it for like 120 or something. 170 isn't bad but try and negotiate!

Yep. That's why I said he should try it himself. YouTube how to install it. Need a jack. Jack stands. Probably a impact gun if u have it if not socket wrench and a torque wrench. And a heat gun maybe for the hangers if they are cold.

That looks fun. You should put some tint on the windows. Makes that color look so much better.

How dark are you going? I have 35 since that's legal but I think a bit darker would be better.

35 for compliance. I'm very happy avoiding police contact in any way possible. Honestly, I'm already concerned about 35 being too dark from the inside at night. But, I know 35 will look nice and dark from the exterior at night. And, I think that's where SWP really pops: under some lights at night. I'm also getting a strip at the top of my windshield since Subaru decided not to do it stock. I was thinking of getting taillight overlays too, but I'm going to wait.

Also, I'm bringing it to Umbra in Schaumburg. I heard good things from people on here.

35 works perfect on swp and it looks good at night. I always thought it would be dark but it's still easy to see everything.

I also went to umbra. I also had them do the clear bra at the same time which was at a discount.

I left work (north of 88) incredibly excited. I got home (south of 88) and was disappointed.

I wanted a clear bra but couldn't afford it at the time. I decided to just hope for the best.

It would be so fun to live in the northeast this weekend. I think we're probably done for the year. It's already more than a week into February.

Even living like an hour north would be more fun than what we have now.

Hopefully it's just a loose clamp that needs replacing.
