Thanks dude. It took me weeks to pick out the system I wanted. Glad I went with this setup.

Did you install it yourself; if yes, how easy/hard was it?

Installed it myself along with a friend.

It was pretty simple. They recommended disconnecting steering column, but we got it on without removing.

Honestly, the trickiest part was getting the dipstick back in place. There was a cool trick for this, but I cannot remember it for the life of me. I will do a quick search and see if I can find it.

Took about 3 hours.

EDIT: Here is a good thread for you regarding install.

No problem. Also, it's recommended that you pick up a replacement set of OEM manifold gaskets to use for the install. People have reused the stock gaskets though.

I think it was about $30 for both. Make sure you order 2 since they don't come in a pair.

I have the SW Retro Catback on my personal car paired up with ARH 1-7/8" headers and hi-flow cats. Absolutely love it!!! But I would have nothing against using SW headers either, I'm sure they would fit fine without any problems. As mentioned, it's really only obnoxious at WOT.

Which is when you would want it to be.

3" Retro with ARH 1 7/8" & cats here. Exhaust note is exactly what I was after. Daily driver, no issues or complaints.
