It surprised me what a lil metal polish and some sore fingers can do for the stock exhaust....

Not sure if it's just me, but I actually preffer the look of the stock pipe than an aftermarket on the late RRs. Your way is probably more affordable too.

i don't personally like the polished look, but it looks nice...i think it would look even better if you could grind down those welds and make it look smooth, but that's just me....it would be intersting to see what you could make of a stock exhaust if you don't mind the quieter sound.....i.e. grinding down the welds...smoothing it out...maybe painting or plating or something...dunno...nice job either way!

looks good brah! but it still weighs 25 pounds more than a full system and still doesnt sound as good as a slip on. but you did a great job on makin her shiny[sm=icon_rock.gif]

Haha yeah i know....the only reason that i'm really undecided is just because after ridin my '03 with my jardine for so long, i kinda forgot how nice it is to NOT have an exhaust screamin all the time...especially on the highway. I'm leanin
towards the carbon-fiber yosh based on looks and heat diff, but i've heard they're pretty loud on the '07. Anyone had any experience with it on the new RR yet?

lol i know what you mean about the screamin, my truck has headers, and i have an illegal exhast and st. legal one, i have the legal one on there now, bcuz i got it smoged like 2 weeks ago and i was like wow its nice hearing myself think, but it revs so slugish with that stock cat on there, and i kinda like it when my freinds come outa there houses when ima block away when im going to pick them up. saves me a phone call.

Akrapovic looks good as well, but I like what someone did with what they had.

looks great, did you remove the exhaust or tail to polish it, or did you just leave it all togther?
