    Nice 08 Sedan. How is the Q300 catback with the catless downpipe? Did you have to do any fender modifications in order to get he 18x9 wheel in there?

    The Q300 was to quiet for me so the catless downpipe really gives it that boxer rumble i have a video on youtube but it was taken with my cell phone so its not that good, but i can post it in here so you can hear it.

    I'm still deployed so i haven't put the wheels or coilovers on yet, but as soon as i do ill let you know, im guessing im gunna have to roll the fenders flat probably which im ok with.
    Thanks
