My exhaust is ready for Cruisin Weekend. My wheels will be on by then too. Not 100% sure if I'll have the coilovers on or not...probably not.

Here's a pic of the exhaust from underneath:

Looks really nice! How does it sound?!?!

I'll hopefully pick my wheels and tires up tomorrow from no limit (they've had them since Monday, I think they lost my number lol) I'll have to decide whether or not to install my line lock and run my drag radials down in oc, or stick with the new wheels... Decisions decisions

It sounds good in my opinion. The M3 engine is weird to begin with so it's really difficult to make it sound throaty and deep. So with that in mind, it sounds like your typical M3 with aftermarket exhaust.

What I had done was removing the factory muffler and putting in a couple resonators with some nice exhaust tips. It's really loud when you're getting on it, but when cruising at normal RPM's you can barely even tell that it's anything other than stock. In Ocean City you won't even hear it over the thousands of V8's running up and down Coastal Highway lol.

Ken I think you should stick with the new wheels, they look awesome. If you have the drag radials then people will be trying to race you all weekend long. Unless that is what you were hoping for haha.

I wish they were 3 piece wheels.... These are an interim set until I can afford my ccw's! They're made by one of the many reproduction corvette wheel shops, and based on the magnesium wheels that were optional on early c5's. Stock z06 sizes and offsets... Not bad for 250 bucks of ya ask me
