Ok! Great! Now the problem is, whether Fabspeed's Oval tail pipe would fit my Narrowbody turbo style bumper nicely. Anyone knows?

Default Aftermarket exhausts

If you can I suggest you do a test drive in a car with the fitment you are considering -- same as what you will have -- because occassionally you hear people complain about "droneing" noise -- there are plenty who seem very happy with Fabspeeds -- but my experience was the other way so I had my original mufflers modified and no drone and a sporty spound for a fraction of the price -- I have a pair of Fabspeeds for sale -- but in Australia.

Are you willing to ship it to me? I wouldn't mind buying your set if it's in good condition.

Fabspeed exhausts drone at low RPMs. I added EVO intake, Fabspeed headers and a custom flash which lowered the exhaust noise addressing the drone in exchange for more power.

That "droning" means your engine under too much load because you're lugging it. I would not operate the car at such low rpms on the highway. Fine when you're creeping around town not pushing much air and being helped along by low gears, but it's pretty unkind at higher speeds. The drone is telling you to downshift.

FWIW, I've had EVOM's exhaust for four years, and I'm pretty sure it's made by Fabspeed. I don't love the sound at idle, but I've found it great otherwise. Gets attention, has a little bit of the air-cooled character (from outside the car, anyway), but very civilized on the highway.
