Default My new Skunk exhaust

I just wanted to tell everyone that I just installed my Skunk2 catback exhaust. It's mated to my Maddad catted bellmouth DP. The pieces mated superbly! I will post up some pics and I will try to get a video up soon. The only issue I had was that the exhaust hit the diffuser, so I will be doing a little trim on the plastic. But other than that, it is deffinitely a sexy piece of equipment!

Here's a few pics! Sorry about the diffuser, I have to do a little surgery to put it back on. I'll also be putting a video up soon.

It shouldn't be a whole lot. The angle of the exhaust puts the canister in a bad spot. I have to work tonight, so i will be doing the re-install of the diffuser tomorrow. I believe that a couple of cut off wheels and a dremel will do the trick. More pictures will be posted tomorrow. I will also try to go out and make a short little video as well. For now, you can just imagine how nice it sounds!!

Oh, about the sound...it is absolutely sinister. It has a very deep tone to it, and it isn't too loud while driving at normal cruising speeds. I had to make a quick trip to Louie Armstrong Int'l Airport in New Orleans at 4 this morning (45minute ride) and I was very pleased to learn that there is no drone at hwy speeds. I am a sheriff deputy, so my hwy speeds are probably slightly higher than most peoples' but still no droning none the less! The greatest thing is that once you drop the hammer, and cut her loose, the exhaust note is pure sex!! So far, I have to say I Love the Skunk exhaust on the 2.5.

I'm not sure how much you are going to be purchasing the exhaust for, but if you would like, contact Lightning Motorsports - Your Source for Import Performance Authorized Distributor for AEM Intake Systems, Ingalls Camber Kits, Neuspeed, MSD Ignitions and Skunk 2 Exhausts and Suspension components. The owner is a good friend of mine, and right now, he's selling the Skunk exhaust for 400. I'm not sure about shipping, but it couldn't be that bad. About the ticket....I apologize, not all cops are nice. I try to be as fair as possible. I also like to drive fast, and hypocrites are ass holes!!

LOL! I can't speak for all cops. I really do hope it turns out in your favor. I will post up a video ASAP. And 425 is a good price. I got a lil hook up, and got to skip out on taxes! 400 out the door! But anyway, you will love the exhaust. Oh yeah, what DP are you running?
