Nice drop! Your rims reminds me of an Infiniti. Hey are you the one who posted the HKS video on youtube? That is one loud exhaust, did you take out the Cat?
No, thats not me on youtube and yea i removed the cats, lol its loud :)

That was me on YouTube. Only the resonator was removed in that video.

Glad to know that the 19" sterns fit on a 350. I tried the 18" ST-2's and they wouldn't clear the front calipers. :(

Really? I have seen at least one 350 w/ those wheels, except in 19's. What offsets did u try?

I don't remember what the offsets were, but that wasn't the problem. The spokes had too much arc (to maximize the lip), so the spokes wouldn't clear the calipers. I tried 3 different wheels before I found a set that did clear the calipers.

Very nice! +rep for the pics! Curious, you're not interested in selling your stock rims are ya? Also any tint on your windshield?
Thanx! Mmm, theres no tint on the front windshield but i was thinking about getting it done. As for selling the stock rims, its complicated, PM me.

Didn't your check engine light come on, and you car go into limp mode. The cats your talking about are the ones by the stock headers right??
I think he is confusing the cats with the premuffler / resonator

i might be, im not sure, but the CEL is not on. I just took off the main piping which consisted of 2 resonator looking canisters which eventually molded into a bigger resonator looking canister. I assumed the first 2 canisters were the cats.

Hmm, personally I think stock looks better. If you plan to put anyone in the back seat, I would think you'd rub the tires AND the rims.

Well you think wrong pr4mncplus....I have 20's on my car with the right offset and right tire sizes...as it seems like trinity has (right offset, right tires)...a trunk full of stereo gear AND four people in the car...can't get the tires NOR wheels to rub..... looks good trinity
