I think it looks to far to the left so I may try to move it to the right a little. Anyway, what do ya think?

what muffler is that?
if it was more to the right, i think you're right, it'd look better. but it doesnt look too bad.
did you just have that welded to stock exhaust?

i vote for de-badge, 960/s90 tail lights, s90 rear decor panel in black or color matched (black spoiler if you got black S90 decor panel)

^ I'm getting the 960 tails the next time I get paid :nod:
That mufflers a cheap ebay part I got for 34$ shipped, I just want to use it until I can go to a 3 inch system. I also plan on getting a bigger intercooler, a ipd turbo cam, lowering springs, stiffer shocks, adjustable cam gear, clear corner lights, strut braces,maybe a 15g turbo, and new wheels. I have a boost controler on its way and I plan on running 10 maybe 12 psi. I'm gonna slowly increase it, I dont want to just throw it on there and turn it up. I'm trying to do things in stages. So far I've just did regular maintenance, painted a few things, added a boost guage, and installed ipd 25/25 sways.

Car looks great! But the side markers remind me that I have some from a saab that I need to install. :-(

I have aftermarket ones from FCP Groton on my 850 - they're ok. Seem to get moist inside though. Worth the $ though.

The muffler sounds pretty good, its not annoyingly loud or ricey. The sidemarkers where aftermarket and came from ebay too, quality seems pretty good so far. I havent noticed moisture in them, atleast not yet, lol. I have s90 tails now. I also took those decals off you can see on one of the side windows, looks alot cleaner. I've also got my boost controller on and set to 10 psi, I may turn it up a hair more not sure yet. I still want to go with a bigger intercooler, not sure if I want to get an npr or a 3 inch ebay special.
Looks really good man. Yeah, angle the exhaust more towards the right, should look better. Also, how much of a bitch was it to wire in the side markers?

wasnt too bad, I used a couple of connectors from the junkyard and made my own harness, it looks alot like the one you can buy from ipd. The biggest pain was running everything through the fender, I connected it to the blinkers so they blink at the same time.
