Thanks, man! The tint on all the rear windows is going on as I type this. It should help the look, I hope.

Put a short 3" antenna on it yesterday. I love those short antennas. So cheap, yet so effective.

A little dirty because it had just poured rain while driving home.

Tinted rear windows. Super black. You can still see from the inside out though.

Shitty shot but you can emagine.

How did I get pwnt?

Exhaust shops push the flo-pro's because they get them dirt cheap so they make the most profit off them. It's the same way with car audio shops that push the lower end brands.

North, did you go to the exhaust shop and ask for a flo-pro, or did they recommend it? I know the shops around here will compare them with whatever you ask for. That's the main reason I hate them.

On a side note, I do like the tail-pipe, tip looks great on there.

I really like everything you've done with the van.. it looks mean. Post an exhaust clip...

Mobile, I called the shop to ask which brands they delt with. Then I checked all the various brands out on the internet. Through reviews, photos, youtube videos... Then decided to try the flo-pro because every sound clip/video of that brand sounded great AND they are made right here in the Province of Alberta, just a three hour drive away. So I thought I'd give them a try. It's a well built muffler and a nice tip. The shop did a good job welding it all together. I'm happy with it. If the muffler takes a shit, I'll let everyone know for sure.

I will definitely get some video here soon. The van is at another shop today having a remote start/security installed.

Thanks for the compliments!

I don't really see how. Just because flo-pro has been in business longer doesn't mean they've made that style of chambered mufflers first. Older companies copy newer technology all the time - nothing new there.

To tall tire or wrong offset?

How bad are they rubbing?

The wheel/tire combo looks awesome on there, hopefully you can get it to work out ok.
