    Nice. The CF hood makes your car more sporty looking. Any info about your new exhaust?

    Here is an updated picture of the car. I changed the carbon fiber to a shiny version. It looks so much nicer and it is nice that it can be waxed like the rest of the car. Name:  MirageSpring2017b.jpg

    This is the link to the muffler that I ordered. https://www.amazon.com/APEXi-Apexi-156-A008-N-1-Mufflers/dp/B000AURSB4/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1498134960&sr=8-12&keywords=apexi+muffler

    A year and a half ago there was a few more choices in styles but this is the model. At the time they had an option for a burnt tip and that is what I have. I do like it to a point and it does sound good but I will probably take it off and put the factory stuff on at the end of the summer. Because my car has the CVT (I wish I would have gotten the manual) it sounds annoying like a go kart because it does not shift. It is like a constant bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound instead of bahhhh bahhhhhh bahhhhhhhh, if you know what I mean.

    LOL. Yes a CVT and a loud exhaust is not my favorite combo. Luckily I have the original and can put it back on easily. I do like it a bit more in the summer when the wheels are on and it looks better, but it is annoying in the winter when the factory wheels go back on.
