Default Got my Exhaust on **UPDATE W/ PICS**

alright here are the new pics... I apologize ahead of time as it was a crapy day on Saturday, so I will get better pics and sound if Photobucket will host it.
Anyways, started out at 11:30, and sooned realize that it was going to be a pain to get the bolts off the flange. Not haveing a grinder or a cutting blade on my dremmel, I quickly took it over to a local shop, and they were kind enough to cut to bolts off for me.
So I drive it home (and it was extreamly loud due to the exhaust was just hanging on by the threads of the bolts.
Jacked it up and in about 15 minutes I had the old system out. It took me a while to figure out how to get the rubber hangers off the old exhaust.

Putting it on was real simple, till it was time to get the bracket installed on the left side. I wasn;t really happy with it (and I'm currious about how others felt about it) but I had to get some washer to drop it down at least an inch to not only get the tips to be even, but just to get them on.

I will get pics of the bracket, but I wasn't impressed with the design. So as I'm laying there I looked inside the pipe and noticed this deep inside

It was part of the foam in the packaging. So then I got nervious that there was more inside, so I took it all apart to make sure.
So 4 hours later here are the pics


Car sounds mean. Don't feel any power difference (which I wasn't planning on) maybe a little better responce higher in the rpm range, but can't tell for sure. Definately am happy with the product and the results.

Nice looking setup. Make sure to keep them clean and waxed. Nothing worse than a beautiful car with totally neglected exhaust tips.

Do you have the hi flow cat (lloks like it in the pics) and largerDP with u-bend delete?I was wondering b/c you said you noticed no difference in power.

that looks like a cat back system..i dont see the cat in the pic, if the u-bend is gone you should have noticed a difference...but it might still be there...can't really tell from the pic that well

yah, thats where your going to get the horse power...generally there isn't any gain from going to a different kind of cat back system, the gain is going to come when you get the high flow cat, and get rid of that u-bend
