I shall be installing said exhaust in a matter of hours here, initial pics attached.

Relax, I will be posting sound clips of how it sounds once it is installed. I will also make another sound clip about a week later if it sounds any different than it did from day 1.

Initial impressions: not bad. it looks like it will fit nicely.

OK, well....the exhaust bolts are rusted on solidly. cut the heads off, tried with a punch and nada...no movement. SOOO I may be delayed a bit in posting more pics and sound clips, but ill get there.

I'm pretty convinced I need a torch to get these bad boys off. I cut both completely off and tried to punch them out and no go. What I would give for a lift and an acetlyne torch....

Heat wrench FTW.

50/50 mix of ATF and Acetone is a fantastic rust-buster. I've used that on stubborn exhaust nuts before and it always worked.

BFH.

Is it just me or do the tips look out of whack to each other?

Hmm...I don't think so, but maybe the iphone camera is playing tricks

That would work wonders if I actually had a nut to grab onto. Before I even touched it, the nuts had been rusted down to circles rather than a hex.

really though, I did the same thing on mine, and the bolts were rusted on, I cut them out on one side, took a hammer , and hit the actual muffler from the back side or strike the mount where the double donut is as leverage and it pop right out. if there is not real tension and the nut is already cut, there cant be taht much resistence, you just need the right leverage.

btw I bough the same one just before you posted it. I hope I get it before the wekeend and slap it on mine.

OK, so it's on. Its way quiet. Stock quiet. No drone at any RPM or any speed. You can slightly hear it on hard acceleration.

Fitment is not bad, but not great. Pics below.

Ill post sound clips when I find my flip video.

I clicked the last shot first: it looks like ass. Middle 2 look pretty decent, first one was OK.

That quiet, huh?

Yeah, it's that quiet.

I think that if the angle of the tips were less it would look better. Under the car, it fits well.

Doesn't look that bad. I like it. What company did you buy it off on ebay...speedyraceparts?
