BE KIND WHEN OPENING THE BOX!!

just a warning. these guys pack their 6 foot boxes with packing peanuts... if your excited, like a fat kid getting ready to tear into a cake then you will be damned to clean up foam peanuts rather then install your new exhaust.

Construction quality is awesome. My wifes father asked me if the exhaust had been machine welded because of how good it looks. kit comes with all hardware bolted to the pipes with the flanges, so setting it up is easy and there is no fuss/mess.

Took us just under an hour to install the test pipe back. for comparision sake here are a few pictures of the stock system.



take a look at that restriction... the coloring is only after 3,000 miles... mainly highway.

Once we got the system in I couldn't wait to start it and drive around so there are fewer pictures under here lol. The fit was very tight. this exhaust can't get any closer to the car without scraping or "rattling" on the underside of the car. the rear muffler is very close to some of the plastic underneath. we chose to trim a bit of it in order to keep heat off of plastics. However you DO NOT need to trim or cut anything if you don't want to. Simply a detail we decieded to do "just in case". FYI, after driving about 150 miles I have noticed the rear muffler does not get nearly as hot as the stock unit and probably wouldn't melt your hard plastics even if they are touching the muffler seams.

Position of the muffler and tips is Mucho extremo bettero. the muffler doesn't hang down and there isn't 15 inches of clearance between the tips and the rear diffuser. The exhaust looks like it should have from the factory in the first place.






Sound:

This system was perfect for me. on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being stock and 10 being strait piped. I personally give this system a 5. When you are cruising around and not getting into anything serious you can barely hear it. (don't misunderstand you CAN indeed hear it, just driving around the street). at highway speeds when out of the throttle you can't hear it. However, if you let the beast out it will "growl" at you. Very deep tone for a 2.0 4 cyl. much deeper then I expected to hear out of my car.

I would suggest that anyone that wants a deep tone streetable exhaust give this one a shot.
