You know whats even funnier is you can grab a Borla, Flowmaster, or GL all for under $300 an exhaust.
What's so funny about an exhaust being cheap? I guess you will never stop reminding people that you spend big $ on parts you never get to use

No sir, the X part bolts to the strut bar with two bolts, and then the bottom mounts with bolts already on the car. I'll post pics of the install later.


Actually, S2X is selling his version of this type of strut bar in the group buys, he might have pictures of the install there.


Jakub, i believe his point was that another poster stated that exhausts like Borla and Flowmaster have "better" designs due to their mandrel bending than say for example my Amuse R1, however ASMspec pointed out that you can pick up those exhausts for $300, and while an Amuse would cost you 7 times that amount, you get far better gains with them, negating the idea of the $300 exhausts having superior design. I dont think borla makes gains on the S, neither does the fowmaster, which is why you can get them for $300.

Oh, and I use my Amuse R1, so...

Hey C U, I live in Hillsborough. I like your car. Where do you like to drive around here? I'm addicted to Wertsville Rd in Ringoes. Good luck with the strut bar, let us know how it feels once you get it in there.

Hey whats up,
I dont really go on many spirited drives because there's sooooooo many cops out in Flemington. In two weeks I'm having a couple guys come hang out at my house (were switching intakes and installing my asm strut/amuse header), let me know if you'd like to join. I don't know too many people close to me who have an S besides a couple older dudes who never wave to me, and my ex g/f, so it's nice to meet more people

Flemington is a police state! Don't even get me started on that town. Thanks for the invite, I'll holler at you on PM.

It's definitely a pain constantly watching your ass for that cop with his lights off just timing people as they go by, but its home.
