Re: Truonghthe 99 AV6 coupe.

very good man it gave me deep tone and the best sound come around 2.5k-4k RPM and over that the intake roar take over. The exhaust gave me no rattle, no rasp like those ricer kid.

Clean. What is the trim around your car? and did you get a 6spd V6 emblem? Magnaflows are awesome, I like your HID too.
