I have listened to BB Bennys L78 nova with the Garders system and that car sounds sweet. Looks great also!

I wanted the stock look, so yes I had them add the polished tailpipes which are round and angle cut. Looks perfectly stock!!

My car has a nice sound in my opinion. I like it. I have had alot of people complement me on the sound. It does have a nice rumble at idle. You were asking about pictures. I didn't like the look of the tailpipes exiting the back and being to short and to low. I cut them just behind the rear tires. Were the bend is. It isn't the stock location but close.
