Quite quiet here lately so time to show my new do-it-yourself exhaust.

Very nice job! The 3-pipe setup goes with your obviously tricked out car. How does it sound? Do you get rear-end steering when you put the pedal down?;)

Cool, it looks like a mad max style trombone off the car :D 1st time I've seen a 3 pipe and great to see something a bit different. Are you noticing a performance and sound improvement?

JUST listed on Yahoo.jp and yours (including the bumper) for a mere 65000 yen

Thanks guys.

It's a little louder but low and deep toned, with a perceived slight power boost.

To save $ I used some of the original tubing (surprised it was twin-walled).

Total was under $100us as welding is free at my employment.

Thanks for sharing that Japhoo one Steve, that's a shocker! :eek: Still made me chuckle.

"with a perceived slight power boost"

Very honest description, it can be hard to judge and I think we can all kid ourselves at times :rolleyes: Still looks good and money well spent.

Proximity sensor for backing up/parking. All those extra lights were forced upon me because the authorities won't accept the factory lights (JIS) as safe!
