With that being said, it is very hard to align them perfect by yourself...

Tony I couldn't do the alignment but did align the tips few washers were needed for that, do you think from the pics these looks misaligned?

One more thing I need to know that the rear passenger side cover which needs to be remove to wrap the fuel line, doesn't go back right? as I took it off and didn't install it, just cut the aluminum plate little bit behind that.

One last question will it make any difference in sound if I painted the mufflers flat black as here its more of cop magnets resulting in 30 days impound and 900$ fine.

I all depends how much driving you do. Mine took a couple of weeks to tone down a little, I only put in 10 miles a day and it rest on the weekends. lol

It takes a couple hundred miles for the mufflers to really burn in and settle down.

As far as the paint goes, I don't think it will make any noticeable difference in sound... just make sure you sand the metal down real good so that the paint doesn't flake off!

The mufflers will tone down a bit. It takes time for them to settle in. The evap cover you removed from the passenger side DOES NOT go back on the car...
