Could not be ANY happier of how nice it fits under there. It has so much clearance which I needed for the cars current height. Sounds amazing too. I previously had a tanabe medalion touring axle back, but it hung so low I knew I would damage it. So I sold it before anything could happen.

My only complaint has nothing to do with the exhaust at all, but instead it's the freakin heat shield that detached somehow (probably when I hit a fat bump) And now it makes an annoying rattling sound when it comes into contact with the piping. Anyone have any idea how that was originally attached? I tried 3M tape but it only worked for a little bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you guys, and enjoy!

A large plastic clip-in retainer/plug goes in there.

Ahh gotcha! I should have measured the hole size while I was under there. I'll visit Lowes or Home Depot and see if I can find something for it. Thanks!

Trust me that was a thought too haha.

I think I just fed it through until it came out of the hole next to it with the epoxy over it. Been so long now I can't remember ha.

Unfortunately I don't remember there being another hole next to this one :( I'll try epoxy. It rattles when the car isn't moving -__- so annoying at a stop light or something for example.

Seriously...just curious.

for me i use them for looks..match the color of the car body..i opened them when i need fresh air during rainy season..i also opened them when my window fogs up..last time i used them when i wanted to take a picture on the mountain without getting my lens wet..

I agree with this guy. It's rainy here int he Northwest. I've used it a few times to vent fresh air in.

Little bit of an update: FINALLY upgraded my headunit. Went with a Pioneer USB/Bluetooth compatible deck since my OEM aux jack went out. I love it! I can have to be pretty much any color, but I went with amber to match the dash :D

I've been debating upgrading. I would love to put a sub in and I think my aux jack is going. I'm pretty sure i'm only getting full sound out of the front passenger speaker in when i plug in the aux...

Ahh yeah, at the moment I don't have a sub but I used to have my 12" Kicker in here. Going to get better wires and downgrade to a 10" Kicker with a slim box so I can have more trunk room ;) Yeah my aux only played on one side of the car. For a few months I was constantly buying and burning blank CDs to have current music.. Yeah.. Had enough of that. Lol. So much easier to update the playlist in my old iphone and leave it in the car for music.

ok ok so that is likely the issue. I thought I had blown my speakers to the point they didnt even rattle. Until my wife bought me the new Dilated Peoples album and it bumped good haha.
