I won't argue regarding the history of the flag, but as a symbol it seems it may have other meanings that may replace its origins in modern society, like a good luck symbol or something as expressed in some forums. I understand that it can be offensive in some contexts due to the use it had on a certain period but it's meaning has changed for a lot of people who use it for other reasons. heck even US troops use it according to what I've found. for what I understand it reminds the atrocities that happened while it was used, so the people that suffered are obviously offended as a david star may offend palestinians or US symbols may offend people from hiroshima or nagasaki, or UK symbols may offend people from Kenya. what I think is that some people may use it in good will and not relate it to the war crimes that happened as the symbol may mean something different for them now.

Not an actual system they just chopped the rear section and made it come out through there. On top of that they have the AR downpipes I think. May actually sound just like mine.

That I don't know, Saw it at the Gold Lot when they were loading cars and heard it. Wasn't loud at all. Gonna see how the iPE system holds up to it after he puts in the DP's

yeah, shouldn't be too loud yet haha, I looked under it before the rear bumper went on, just muffler missing. Still has stock mid pipe with the resonator and all cats on. Can't wait to hear it with the AR dp though!
