Agreed. Great exhaust. I put a Helix HFC as it was a little too loud for me, but I still had great results. Here's a post of my dyno graph. Remember, this is from Gruppe-S' dyno. Stock '05's dyno at 210-215 there...

Anybody who has installed this exhaust getting any rattles or vibrations? I helped my friend install megan catback this weekend and at around 10-15 mph he can feel a viberation in the driver seat.
The flanges on the exhaust do not have enough slack to make contact with the drive-shaft, the only possible place for contact would be the exhaust flanges near the fuel liner. I was wondering if anybody else ran into any rattles/etc. with this catback?
I think the solution is to fabricate extra hangers for the muffler, or hammer around the fuel liner until no contact can be made or put some sort of insulation around the flange.

get underneath and take your fist and bang around and find out where its hitting. if its hitting the right rear floor board or around that area you might have to rotate the midpipe 180 degrees. does your rear pipe bracket hanger line up with the rubber hanger? pics would be helpful.
my catback was no where near the driveshaft
i did have a mild rattle under my center console, but it turned out that the heat shield that was overlying the original cat was bent down some and close to the front flange of my testpipe, one simple bend upwards and it was gone. at this point the whole turboback is rocksolid, i have taken fast turns, gone over bumpy roads, and all over the rpm band absolutely not a sound. other than the deep roar of the tbe.

The catback lined up perfectly with both hangers, so after the fist test its hitting the fuel liner --> right rear floorboard...
After looking at the pics you posted, it looks like my midpipe does indeed need to be rotated 180 degrees so it can avoid rattling against the right rear floorboard area...
thanks
