Today I swapped out my Triad exhaust for one of Tangerine's EVO-IV stainless steel silencers (center twin tip). Nothing really wrong with my Triad, but I wanted something a bit mellower. Also, the coating on the Triad wasn't standing up to the salty East Coast winters very well. I need to clean it up and then figure out what to do with it.

It's all in personal preference, but I'm very happy with the new one from Chris. It has a nice low note that is not quiet, but also not too loud (trying to be a good neighbor as I leave the house early sometimes). It's also noticeably lighter (and shorter) which made installation a bit easier for one person. And it comes with the bung pre-installed.

Another shout out for Tangerine: total order to delivery time was about 10 days, and Chris answered my questions promptly and completely. I'm always happy when I buy from his shop....

And on the car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) I'm glad it looks good, as I don't have a valence to cover it up.

I am on my second exhaust from Chris. It's a great product.

Don't know about the sound, but it looks great on your car.

do you need to buy a new rear valence without the tail pipe hole and then cut in your new holes, or just do without?

You got lucky. That's the last one I had "in stock". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
For the time being, until I have time to work on inventory, every order has a long lead time.

The best look would require covering the original cutout and creating a new one around the center tips.

Me too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) . Which is good, as this car never came with a rear valence. I have a FG one now that I'm considering painting and installing, but I like the look.

I can still recommend Triad as a great product, Dave. As I said, just personal preference in terms of sound.

And I have to plug Tangerine, because Chris never does it himself!

I love mine with out the valence, not sure the valence has any purpose except for looks seems like it would trap the heat, anyway I love the deep sound of the exhaust.

I have an exhaust and header set up from Chris that I am waiting on installing when my motor is done. He does great work, and is easy as heck to work with
