thanks guys, y'all got a good eye, and yes, it's a real nice exhaust....Espelir is distributed by Mackin Industries and we all know what they are synonymous for --> elite status when it comes to quality, performance and design: i.e. Rays Engineering (Volk Racing), Project Mu, Yokohama Original Wheel Design (Advan), ARC...i wish i could move to CA and work for Mackin....you want Pace Setter? Fughetaboutit....you want Tenzo R? Fughetaboutit....that's why they're called MACKIN.
