Old setup video:
http://youtu.be/CNAaRNqynYA
I loved the sound, was not much drone or bass but driving around town (or with my parents) it was just too loud. I think for an SUV like the FX50 it needs to be more refined? Maybe I'm just getting old.... (turning 23 this year
So this is why we go to the new setup:
-----
New exhaust setup finished....
check my exhaust thread for more pictures and info.
The sound? QUIET! I still have factory resonators on the midpipe, plus these funky canister secondary resonators PLUS the two trashcan mufflers... it sounds a little louder than stock. I need to drive it more to break it in before I make my final decision on whether I like the sound or not. I may end up changing out (or deleting) the factory resonators for something else, since I had to cut it up anyway... but we need to see how the knockoff muffler holds up.
better pics and video will be up soon.

Video of the new setup: Replica HKS Hi-power Mufflers for the Z/G

Only been on for a day so they'll break in a bit more. ACtually starting to like the tone since it's been getting a bit louder. Still is very quiet compared to the old setup though.

Thanks everyone.
I'm not going to lower it until there is a definite fix to the camber issue.

I thought it would be louder. May play with the resonator (Delete it) since these mufflers have resonators on them.
Sort-of. Back at school now so wont have too much time

Not the same place but a similar type of place - behind a strip mall haha. Same angles. Did the same with my 50 a while back

Cool, the spring-loaded "release" on my cupholder cover decided to stop working. (actually has been like this since the week after I got my car back)
Can't press down for it to pop open, I need to press down on the hinged side in order to get the thing to open, with a "click"
Anybody have the assembly pics for this section? It's probably just a stupid spring but I think they messed it up when they were in there replaced the stick shifter thing.....
