My exhaust is level, it does look weird in the picture but they are level. I had to shim the passenger muffler down with 2 washers to get the tips even.

Do people get exhaust leeks when washers are used as shims?

Whats the difference in sound like between the CF and the steel mufflers? 18" Resonators if that makes a difference at all.

I'll probably be ordering one end of may and while I think I'd prefer the CF mufflers, I wouldn't want them if they made the exhaust louder. Gotta think of the neighbors....

CF should be louder than the SS cans. I believe the SS will also be smoother and deeper than the CF.

I thought it was the other way around with regards to the smoother and deeper part.

Yep, that's what Tony said before I ordered mine. I'm pretty sure he mentions the differences somewhere in this monster thread as well.

I just finished painting my exhaust flat black, except the tips of course. The exhaust is well hidden now and I recommend it for anyone wary of the appearance. I anticipated doing this going into the purchase, and the results are very nice. Anyone want pics?

I'd like to see the pics............ but geeeez can't believe you friggin painted it.

I hope you used a heat resistant/durable/non flaking paint??? If not, it will look like crap once it starts burning and caking??

I can't imagine this being a good idea, but yeah
