Non Focus discussion. Pretty much other cars and off topic stuff.

I was on White Bear Ave the other day and had a blue SVT cruise up on me, anyone here?

That'd be me...saw you at 4th and 61 and spent all that time catching up.

Great sounding exhaust, what system is it?

LOL. That's awesome, cause I would have done the same thing.

Glad you like my exhaust! That is custom work by me and my brother. It is a homemade ORP, with a 24" louvered resonator, and an awesome yet very small magnaflow muffler.

I just finished it up, and put the vinyls on. But I can't figure out how to post pics. Just wondering what you thought about the vinyl though, if you noticed it...

Personally, vinyls aren't my thing, but they looked pretty good. I was actually thinking an svt badge for the rear quarter, ala the civic Si.

Thanks for the honesty, glad you liked it though. I really wanted to make my 5 door stand out a little more, and I did not like the look of the side skirts on my car. Which is probably why SVT didn't put them on the SVT ZX5.

If anyone on here wants to have some custom work done on there exhaust. We have played around with with alot of different things and feel pretty seasoned on the SVT exhaust. You can PM me with questions, or just call my brother at the shop. Don't know the shop number off hand, but it is "Tim's Exhaust" in Coon Rapids, and you can ask for Mike. Just mention that you heard about it on MNFOCUS.

And where did you get the MNFOCUS.COM sticker?

@Sucka612: Nope, not me. I only have stripes on the side.

Well, first of all, I'll have to see what you guys can do about my exhaust...Think you'd be able to bend up stuff for a center exit? I'm thinking of doing that, but really don't wanna spend the $350+ for the FRPP borla.

As for the mnfocus vinyl, you can get them from Kyle (o2designs) at a meet.

I was thinking of chopping off the rear resonator and adding a glasspack, and converting it to center exit.

Should keep the volume down without messing with the tone too much.
