Nice work... just finished washing my car, just a rinse. I will perform my first wax this weekend. The wheels take forever to clean and there is soooo much wind today its hard to keep the car clean.

Anyway, I can appreciate the effort it takes...

It is the center muffler bypass x-pipe and the polished tips. I wanted to start here as Fabspeed advised me I would get the most out of this setup. I can replace the side cans later David from Fabspeed said if this does not sound aggressive enough.
Well let me tell you it sounds awsome and I am very pleased it has a nice deep tone with good burbles and pops. Much improved over stock. At this time anyway I don't feel I need to replace the cans.
If anyone is thinking about Fabspeed don't hesitate. I really tried to do as much research into exhaust because I did not want drone and I do not have any. I spoke with one of the techs at my dealer and he said they put on a lot of Fabspeed stuff and have been pleased with there product.

Thanks you all for the nice comments. Sorry I did not have a better camera.
So far I am really loving this car and this is my first black car so I was really nervous about ordering a car like this in black but time will tell. I think I have the right stuff to take care of it though.

Looks great. I have been waiting for someone to give some feedback on a fabspeed installed on a c2. I have been sitting here with my finger on the trigger but have not made the move yet.

Quick question. Why the x pipe and not the maxflo system? I had not even considered the x pipe set up. Seems the same price and the maxflo set up claims hp and tq gains. Does the x pipe do the same? I too am most concerned with drone. Glad to hear you are drone free.
