Re: SC Parts Group stainless exhaust

Hi Aaron,
When I bought the car it had a very sporting sound that I enjoyed for only about 3 months. It eventually became a pain when driving on the autobahn. The new exhaust to pleasant, just sporting enough when pulling away from the lights, and quiet when cruising, befitting the car!!

Covid work valuation

Re: drivers side exhaust front down pipe removal
