GS MOTORSPORTS TRUE DUAL EXHAUST:



As you can see, the dual exaust is subtle. You don't even realize there's two pipes there unless you're riding behind me. At cruising speeds the sound is moderate, but when I tromp on it, well, let's just say the Spintech's can set off car alarms as I drive by!! Spintech has proven to give quite the rumble, but I wanted something different. I kept the "True Dual" system w/two cats and x-pipe, but switched to two Magnaflow 14416 polished stainless mufflers and keeping the two pipes out the back. Pics of that install coming soon.



DIAMOND CUT 1-PIECE HEADLIGHTS

These are a MUCH better design than the two-piece clear headlights you've been seeing. This set up combines the corner and headlamp lenses into one-piece. I love the look. Even though they were a little bit of a p.i.t.a. to install, (needed to remove the front bumper), I still prefer this over the two-piece design any day!! I have finally got my HID conversion kit and will be installing them soon alond with six 90w strobes.




CUSTOM DOMED EMBLEMS:

I ordered a set of domed emblems from www.autotrimdesign.com. They are clear domed chrome vinyl. Trust me, these pictures do not do them justice and they look better than stock!
