Default New Self Made Exhaust Installed

Well I always want something a little diffrent than everyone else so I decided to go with a side exit exhaust. After getting several quotes over $150 to do it I decided to attempt it myself. I used the chambered Force muffler from Summit,$32.99, single 2.5" in and duel 2.5" outlets. I also found 2- 3" chrome tips from Ebay for $20.00 shipped.They were 24" long with slight scatches. This is why they were so cheap. I was really supprised at the quality, the scatches were hardly noticible.I then had 2 2.5" extensions bent at a 45 deg angle at my local shop for $10. So for $63 + my time I have a new custom exhaust. I will post some vids as soon as I can but here are the pics.

Here ya go, 05 Mustang GT, Paxton Supercharged w/ intercooler, 403 rwhp on a very safe email tune. I'm working on another dyno run and tune adjustment which should give me around 450 to 475 rwhp. This is all thru an automatic. Heres a few more pics:

hey u like to save $$$$ if yuo plan on getting new wheels just get those powder coated or you can buy paint from napa or some were its the rino line in a can cheep version but holds up real good have a few friends and my self use it a year or so ago and still holding stong with gravel roads to. i see a lot of people buying new black wheels and they dont look much better , depending on size. but trust me it still looks better than stock . 99.9% of stock wheels are a joke but i guess it give people excuse to make ther trucks unique

Nice setup, truck & Stang.

Like others, always worried about the discoloration with the side exhaust.

So what's the truck sound like now on the interior?
