I was keeping my updates in the local forum but now that its installed and I have a few pictures I figured I would share it out.
I will try to get better pictures but its suprisingly hard to get the exhaust to be visible in any of the pictures I take. Photography > Me

Looks good....but i think the heat will kill the paint. even its its temp. paint over time itll start to flake. Also rock chips are gonna own your paint. But i like it!

 

Looks good Dark. Did you use a special paint due to the high temps the exhaust will see?

 

i used high temp on my OEM exhaust and it smells like shit. buut the invidia does look good in black!

 

I did you high temp paint (1000+) for the job, after winter if I decide its something I want to keep then I will have it powder coated, as for now its just to see how it looks and how it will hold up.
I havent noticed any bad smells yet, I did notice just alittle bit when I first ran the car after the install but it was short and mild.
I'll keep an eye on it to see how easily it flakes/is victimized by debris.

 

Hmmm... that definitely does make it look more subtle. I wonder how it would of looked with black canisters and burnt tips, but I give you props for being original.

 

nice! i havent seen this done yet looks good! keep all the attention away (besides the noise)

 

with the burnt tips I think this would look pretty good, or somehow fading the paint away the closer you got to the tips rather then taping them off.


Yea the noise is crazy loud...hopefully putting the stock resonator on it will calm it down a tad.

 

did you sand it down b4 you painted it??









looks madmax, all blacked out

 

sure did, I also had to use a wire brush to get all the road grime off of it. It looks great once it was clean before I painted it...but I wanted it black.
