Default STS custom "dual exhaust" setup (pics inside)

As we "leaf blower" turbo guys know, the STS kit does not come with any piping after the turbo. So I got bored with the turbo just dumping out undernear near the spare tire and only sounding "ok". I ended up having a "dual exhaust" (I know....) put on today. It added a bunch of nice, deep burbling when the throttle is blipped! Sounds more like that "big block" sound I wanted. They did an excellent job with it. No more spare tire...

"Dual" exhaust...

Oh, and yes, I couldn't resist with the personalized plate. I figure this way, after I smoke an unsuspecting Nissan 350Z, I won't have to pull over and answer as many questions!

Thanks! Yep, that's what I'm hoping for. The "6.0 Turbo" badging is very low profile. Not that noticeable unless you're really looking for it. It's hilarious how many times I've gotten "Yo, ming, chu got a turbo in dat ting?" And I answer with, "Why yes, and seating for eight, a baby seat, and a stroller in the back!

Question

Do you have any pics from underneath to get a better look at the exhaust and turbo?

Sure, here's a pic of the Turbo before the exhaust: Turbo before exhaust

And here's a closer pic of the Turbo where the Y-Pipe is connected: Y-Pipe
