    my car is actually faded primer. lol. it was white and i shot it black with some cheap primer. its faded pretty bad. i need to paint it. its sad i've actually painted proffesionally for about 5 years now. yeah tailpipes seem to take the sound away. i cut my turndowns off . too dusty

    Just use clamps and snug them up just enough to hold the tip in place. Try different angles. These cars can get some nasty harmonics around 2800rpm in third at speed. You might find the harmonics/drone changes if you angle the tips towards each other, towards the rockers or straight down.
    I love the sound of mine with the 44's and turn downs but it gets tail pipes next year. The drone gets to me on the highway.
