just installed mine and it sounds great. i already had an undercoat and added an extra 3 layers around the rear... i have learned my lessons with resonance. inside the cabin you can barely hear it but outside it is low toned but relatively loud. all in all i am pretty happy, it does hang like the stock one but its bigger so it is lower. it fit my LT bumper well, defenatly line it all up before you clamp it because it will want to sit too short of the bumper, but it has plenty of play to line it up.

ugh i got my tip finnally changed back to my stock one lol that cheapo-depot tip that came with it was nasty... also finally got the hangers fixed so it doesnt hit my heat shield...still the best bargin for a catback
i had the resonator on and it made it sound stock again since i went back to the stock header with lsj dp so i got it removed and now i love it deeeep and its not overly loud either

Ok thats good to know man because I was debating getting the resonator welded on but since i'm completly stock other than a k/n typhoon intake i'll just put it on as is and not worry about the resonator.

see i made a thread in the suggestions part of the forum... saying that we should have an exhaust section (ie like forced induction, wheels tires etc).. but nobody seemed to catch on .... kinda like this one is in the 2.2 section

I'm thinking about buying the kit without the muffler.. although here are my ideas.. Modify the piping so that I can put a y pipe and have dual exit with glass packs and 3" tips. Would that work at all? I'm not even sure if it would work myself..

just cheaper to go to a shop and get it all custom... its kinda overpriced just for piping... theres a guy near me that does a cat back for 120 welded hangers etc.. tip..
shop it around but your local guy who does it out of his garage is the best idea over any mineke or w.e franchise place

I have figured out what exhaust system I will go with
I will buy just the mandrel bent pipes from that site (3")
and use this http://www.performanceexhaustplus.co..._category.html as a resonator
and this muffler http://www.performanceexhaustplus.co..._category.html
sound crazy? I like being different lol, it should have a cool sound
it will be a full 3" exhaust and a clear image header with 1.75" primaries and cat-less DP
might be a little loud, will cost around $380 ish before shipping for those parts

Believe it or not mandrel bends do make a difference. If you can find a shop that has a mandrel bender that yes it will cheaper but they are few and far between.

K heres the pics for the catback w/o resonator that i got from mendrel bent systems tru bendz whatever they call
themselves...
Fitment is not that great.....but i have yet to fiddle around with it.....
umm as for SS/SC that's been lowered...like mine 1.0/1.3' ...the exhaust might not clear 100%
sometimes on bumps i hear my exhaust hitting something...
this does not contain a resonator...i dont know how to upload sounds/video...so theres a megaupload link...hope that isnt gonna be a problem...

I unbolted everything and pulled it back as much as I could and now it's not too short anymore
The only problem is where they put the hooks on the muffler. I didn't use the rubber things to hook up the muffler and simply used muffler hooks I got at Canadian Tire for $25
I'm probably gonna go to a local shop and get the hooks moved for it to fit properly

I have to agree with some of the posts questioning the quality of this setup. I got a chance to (was unfortunately stuck) installing one of these this weekend. It kinda sucked. I wasnt impressed with the quality of the weld, or with the hanger placement at all. It takes a fair bit of tweaking to get it to look good. Once again a clear case of you get what you pay for, and in this case maybe a bit less. The pipes were nice, but it just doesnt cut the mustard as a bolt on kit in my mind
