I mean that's one way to scare everyone into a $2,500 Dinan tune!
opasha and paicapo are right - the pictures are not the result of anyone's tune but mine, over the years. The builds - mechanical - were fine and worked well. My intent was to show you what kind of damage can be done, why the damage occurred, and show your vehicle can still run, even with the damage.
