Thanks man, awesome gun metal colour with satin finish..

Drama after drama with rear muffler though, thought it would be an easy fit. Fitted then hung too low, raised it then started melting the rear bar and didn't notice till I looked at it in Melbourne.. Back home and dropped it 5mm and shaved the bar as well, after all that the muffler was resting and constantly knocking on the sway bar . **** so modified the sway bar today and all is well, finally.. I'm loving the staggered tips too ;)

I have moved my exhaust to the left by few centimeters to avoid touching the sway bar..i had the knocking sound as well after putting back the sway bar

Few things you have to pay attention..

1. Your ground clearance is now lower than before, really slow in speed humps. the exhaust pipe just before your rear wheel is vulnerable to hitting the speed hump. My car is just enough to go through most speed hump. Your car is lower than mine, so I might suggest you raise your car a bit

2. During reverse parking, make sure your exhaust not touching the kerb, or you end up spending $$ fixing the exhaust again (it happened to me)

Do you mind telling me how much you spend on exhaust and what is the brand?

Hey Ben I have no problem with scraping this muffler, it almost sits as high as the factory muffler..

It's a Modellista ZRE152 muffler so being a Toyota item it's perfect. I bought it used for $220 less shipping, brand new it's $700..

It's made to sit with the Modellista rear skirt due to it having staggered tips but even without it sits nicely..

Maybe think of it as "lowering the road". That way it uses words he's familiar with...
