Well folks,

The exhaust arrived about 09:30 this morning. I had to wait till the wifey got ready for work and left at about 11:00. Started the install just after 11:00 and finished the complete install CAT BACK at 12:15! This was using just the rear tires on ramps flat on my back in the garage.

Initial look out of the box. No damage and very well packed. The resonated cross was high polished as well as the mufflers and the tips. Almost to nice to put underneath the car!

This is a quality piece, very well constructed and looking at the UNDERSIDE of the stock exhaust where there are some dimples in the tubing, I am VERY glad I went full cat back. I had ONE exhaust leak and that was due to my positioning of one of the front clamps. Repositioned, tightened down and all was fine.

Sound...Very mellow. maybe 5db to 10 db louder than stock at start up. Growls very nice going through 6 gears. No drone, but you can hear and feel it. I wish the Car had sounded this way at stock. After hearing some of the other exhaust systems, this one suits me the best and matches up well with what I will do with this car.

I have no real audio or camcorder so no vids....SRY!
