Thanks,
what do you mean by get the car aligned? Lowered?
If lowered, unfortunately I can't because of my steep driveway

I do like the sound of that... sounds much better than the original video posted. The original sounded almost stock. This video sounds a bit more aggressive; but not obnoxiously loud...


I ~think~ I might go for this instead of the UR cat back when i get my tax returns...

Needed to make sure hangers are tight
Nice. As long as it fits properly after all is said and done without needing to modify the exhaust itself. That's what I wanted to hear.

I had a magnaflow on my last car that fit well, but not perfectly. The way it was bent caused it to hang lower than I wanted, and I had to have another hanger installed to bring it up. This fixed the clearance issue, but sometimes it would touch the rear bumper and rattle. Found out that the part of the hanger the the rubber mount hung on was about 1 inch too long, so the exhaust would slowly slide from one end of the hanger to the other, which brought the muffler tip backwards and upwards until was in contact with the bumper. I'd push it back straight again and it would be okay for a while, but eventually it would creep back up towards the bumper again. Oh and there was a trim screw above the muffler tip that was holding my rear lip on, and of course the muffler tip would hit the screw so I'd get a nice metallic buzz and a worn spot on the tip.

Now I know to ask before I decide to buy something

Thanks for the quick post on the videos! That sounds really good, that isn't loud at all and I like that it doesn't have any drone at all from what I can tell. Seems like a nice aggressive tone without being over bearing.

Did you feel a good increase in power even without a tune?
