I have it...I am debating if I want to make it duals...if so I need to take it to have it professionally put on...if I am gonna keep it single I can do it myself.

Exhaust is on and sounding good! That muffler was a capital Beeotch to get off. I think I spent about 2 hours getting the muffler off. Once I got the muffler off it took about 20 minutes to put the rest of it on. I have plenty of pics that I will put up sometime this weekend! Now I'm gonna go race around Indy to see what Ellie sounds like! :D

haha in the 2nd vid you are walking around the car and you are wearing black dress shoes...or so it looks like.

Anyways yours sounds a lot deeper than mine...does it take awhile for the exhaust to break in?

OK, completed my trip with the new exhaust.

First leg of the trip was pulling an 18 ft camper trailer, and I managed to get 20 mpg, about 1.5 - 2 mpg better than with the factory exhaust.
The return trip, I did not have the trailer in tow, but had a very strong head wind, and I was in a bit of a hurry, so my speed was a bit more than it should have been, but I still managed 31.25 mpg, again about a 1 - 2 mpg improvement over the stock system.

The exhaust note has not gotten any louder, even with 700 miles on it.

This is a great system, reasonable price, good quality, adds performance without the noise.

I tried loosening up the bolts and moved the exhaust around. I thought what I did helped but it apparently didnt. I may just take it to a muffler shop and have them put duals on :)
