Here is mine before I plasti-dipped the wheels. I put an aftermarket intake on it and it came with a j-pipe exhaust. I am not sure, but it seems to have a lope in it. Wonder if the previous owner cammed it. It felt a good bit stronger than the other two I test drove. I think the SS is going to look nice, but I picked this G8 up for a bargain used.

After the wheels were plasti-dipped. Should be temporary as I plan on a CTS-v caliper swap and mesh wheels.
