Installed the catback, sounds lovely. Tips looks good, i need to adjust it a little. I had to have new hardware purchased and the old bolts from the cat heated to be removed cause the weather got to them. Hopefully all goes well from here on out, the install was easy minus the fact that i was on ramps and not on a lift so torque was an issue with removing the bolts on the stock piping. I plan on keeping the stock piping incase i ever need it again. At wide open throttle (or w/e its called) the tone is straight amazing, i did a before and after with the RRM SRI and the intake makes it a lot deeper. I have to go under again just to make sure i tighted everything up nicely once i get it on the lift, but so far so good. Also for the last hanger on the muffler i had to run to homedepot to buy a longer bolt, a new nut cause the old one was a square nut which was welded to the muffler, and new washers/lockrings/etc. But everything else worked out nicely.

Conclusion: Definitely worth the money, and if you're a newb at installs like i am this job is probably a 3/5 mainly because its a pain to do everything yourself (hold a pipe up and bolt it up as well). Otherwise i fully suggest this exhaust, and so far i haven't any problems.

Also one question for Rock, is the exhaust supposed to smoke/smell weird for the first few miles as i break it in? Cause some fumes are coming out of it that i've never encountered before... haha just wondering.

I don't know if it's supposed to smoke or not, but I'd check to see that it's not touching/melting the bumper first.

The packing in the resonator and muffler have to heat cycle. Give it a couple hundred miles and it will go away.

I got my RRM catback done a few months ago. Never posted about it because ive been to busy enjoying it
Install took a little under an hour and fit very nice.
Mine had the same smell right away. It goes away after putting on 100 miles or so. I don't recall it smokein but it was a bit ago to remember.

definetly worth the money !!! I took a sound sample revving my engine , its in the "new rrm part" thread. My mods so far include : dp, catback, pulley, cai, piggy, motor mounts and p&p manifold. i'd definetly recomend adding a high flow cat (rrm has a magnaflow cat) . Im thinking of getting the header , i'm hoping the sound will change with the header and i think i have enough mods to support it.
