Just a basic thrush glass pack on each side, kept res and cat. Quiet when easy on it but sounds like a stock car if you punch it, and of course I had to use chrome paint on the exhaust to make it contrast my black undercoating a bit lol no it's not high temp but nor is my exhaust. After driving all day you can still grab the pipe before the resonate rand it's only about body temp

You should have considered buying a gallon or two of plastidip for your car. Proper prep and a spray gun will make the end product. I have friend who owns a dipyourcar.com affiliated shop called 304Dipz. You need several coats for proper application. I still personally am not a fan of the finish[read texture] to do an entire car. Though I entertained the option for my cheap '98 DD. IMO a nice paint job is better than wasting on plastdip a couple times.
I am not sure what direction you are trying to take the car in but see it through. Check mine out my '96 some time ;p. A lot of unique stuff.

I shall have to see and yes I am buying the sprayer and 3 gallons black and 2 gallons of glossifier, they say the glossifier works like a clear coat and hardens it up some, I did try liquid wax yesterday and that does add a shine and smoother texture and prevents from scuff marks, lots of forums on plasti dip website on finishing options

Whatever I feel like lol. Always whitetail. Turkey, squirrel and whatnot when I get the time. Now no hating but I'm building a mosin. Did it before with great results. Had a 1928 and bought for $120, put a bent bolt, scope mount and ati stock on all for $250. Drove 3/4 groups at 100 and Sold it at the range for $450, I loved it so I'm doing it again but with an archangel stock and I'm gona have a gunsmith make me a new barrel and got it quoted for $350. Now I know there's a lot of guns for cheaper out there but I like having something completely different and unique, like the aurora, people everywhere compliment me in the car saying they've only seen them in ads but not in person
