MBRP axle back has a really nice sound.

I went through car wash with brushes 1 hour after applying it. For 9.99 it looks nice and was a breeze to use. No issues with peeling it from paint without affecting emblem coating.

Probably should be the last time you go thru car wash with brushes. Going to get a lot of swirl marks after awhile and not worth it. Enter to do the two bucket method and hand wash. You’ll thank me later lol

Man, I see 'em taken apart to that degree an' I just cringe. I may see if CVF would do mine. They're not too far away. The stress relief would be worth it.

It wasn’t too bad. One bolt at a time…

I love that you can see a little bling behind the grille too.

Maybe 2 hours. I had to trim some on the inside for it to lay flat and remove the plastic belly pan to reach in and bolt it up. Pretty simple overall.

Do you expect (over stock and not the current brembo set up you have) that the rotora or RB 6 or 8 pot set ups will provide substantially better stopping power in regards to overall distance? Or do you see those upgrades as more of an aesthetic, balance and fade mitigating under hard prolonged braking set up? I've been looking at them for some time but I am largely more concerned on impact of the overall stopping abilities.

On paper these should outperform the RB/Brembo set-up. In reality I just thought they looked cooler. lol
