Fourth..... While I was under there, I went ahead and disconnected the pins that operate the flapper valves, so they are now permanently open, and my ECU doesn't know any better for it. Definitely sounds "healthier" now.... and I'm quite pleased with how it looks.
Very well done. It looks awesome from the back. I am hoping to do the same with mine. You know it is very interesting how the quad tips look so natural that they should almost come like that on the M50i.
