Cool videos jlocc619!
The exhaust is definitely getting quieter since now I can drive through a parking structure and it sounds very near stock if not quieter in some aspects. I guess you could say 0-25% pedal pressure it sounds no different than stock but at 25-50% it really comes alive. At 50% it starts to get quieter but at wide open throttle it has a rumble just loud enough you can hear it echo off freeway overpasses even with the windows up. That certainly wasn't there with the stock exhaust but nowhere near the deafening roar of more highly modded cars. Highly recommended!
K&N air filters go in on the weekend so i'll see if I can take some videos then.

Make sure you blot dry and air dry those filters first please! When new they come with way to much oil on them and will ruin your MAFs. I wish the the top dogs would make the great dry paper ones for our cars. I think BMC was one of them and they were great on my AMG and others have tested those to be great as well.

I will install the filters later today just soon as I locate my torx socket set.

jlocc619,
Diffuser looks awesome. Im curious what it cost you to get it painted. I ordered mine from Mina yesterday and hope to have it soon.
Thanks

Just got my exhaust today, I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this, after opening the box I didn't even get as far as taking it out. One of the pipes was visable and I noticed it was really black inside, so I stuck my finger in and swiped. There is about 2mm of sutt or whatever it is. It is as far down the pipe as I can see. Was this used? Please someone try an explain, I would like opinions before I call Mina. Did anyone else notice this? You would think the pipes would be clean inside being that they are brand new. Below I posted some pics.

jlocc619,
I received my diffuser Sat and cant wait to get it installed. I had a few other questions for you before I send off to paint. Did you install yourself? Reason I ask is I know factory diffuser snaps out of bumper and the Mina one snaps in. They supplied 8 Screws 4 short and 4 long. Per instructions it says these are used to secure tabs. I am a little lost on what I would be drilling into or through. Maybe you could shed some light or if at all possible have pics of the underside so I can see how you secured yours. Any help would be appreciated.
