For the money it's a great mod. Just go through my thread a couple times to make sure you understand what's done.

Find a decent muffler shop around you and make sure they use a sawsall to cut the mufflers and resonators out. No torch!

Have the x-pipe installed as far forward as you can get them.

I liked the finished product when the tips were pretty much flush with the rear of the car. The factory tips are the same way. Some people will tell you to push the tips out a little farther to avoid melting the plastic but with the double walled tips that was never an issue and still isn't on my 3" exhaust. Just make sure they don't touch the rear valance and you should be good.

Another thing I did was take some High Temp Aluminum colored paint and sprayed the pipes since you could kind of see the welds from behind the car. Not a must but does make it look good.

I actually don't have the setup anymore but that's only because I got a package deal on a set of headers, 3" magnaflow cat-back, and tune. It was a good enough deal that I couldn't turn it down. I ended up selling and installing the system on a 2LT Camaro. I did have the setup for about 9mths with no issues at all.

If you have any questions just ask.
