Finally drove it and I'm in WOW mode!, you can defenetly feel the power and sound...way better then my ol Magnaflow... Sound is a deep growl in low rpms and and furious roar at WOT...
The down side though its not FI fault is the VQ engine infamous "HISS" that is just annoying to me and it bugs me. I figured that the new FI CBE w/ RHFC will eliminate that but t didn't.. I guess have n other choice but to live with it...other then that great system and great power with awesome sound. Good things are worth waiting for..

Just received my cat back exhaust tonight about 8pm, UPS was late...anyway while I was waiting I decided to take apart my old magnaflow CBE by myself which was really tough. Finally UPS showed up and started installing. Instructions were easy to understand and did step by step and VOiLA!!! New exhaust installed it is now 1:30am and just turn it on and Wow!,!!! To bad is to late or else I would be driving the the road to really open her up... Can't wait till tomorrow after work... Thanks Lance

She roars but not too loudly, purrs but not too softly. Sad that i didnt get much of a chance to drive it this weekend.
I like it a lot but wish the 18"s were a tad bit louder
The install according to corner3garage went for the most part, smoothly.
Couple things:
- they said it was one of the better aftermarket exhaust they have installed but wasnt 100% (expected, since aftermarket)
- this exhaust doesnt fit with the GT Spec m brace T.T
- they had to make a small bend on the really thin brace to prevent rubbing
- and they had to remove this piece. does anyone know what it is or where it belongs? I didnt realize until i found it in my parts bin after i got home

It came from the right rear corner. It protected/shielded the gas lines. The kit comes with a piece of material that wraps around the gas lines. If you still have the instructions it is in there and even has a picture.

btw, is it possible for the exhaust to come in contact with the lines? they seem pretty close

I LOVE this exhaust!!! It went on with no issues at all, very straight forward. I didn't remove the heat shield and trim it, I just bent it a bit and created the clearance needed. I don't think it will be an issue in the future, but if it is It's an easy fix. The difference is instantly noticeable upon starting the car. I have always liked the sound this engine makes, but now it's a lot lower, more like a growl that rumbles down to a purr at idle. When I step on it the growl turns to a roar, but not an annoying one, kind of a song you remember hearing but can't recall where or when. You just like it. I know I mixed my metaphors, my ol Lady gripes about it all the time.
Now the bad bit
I only have one small negative issue with the whole experience. I was quoted a price "to my door" I paid the price. I expected it delivered to my door. It was delivered to my door....with a C.O.D. attached to it. It was for about 250 dollars. Close to 100 of that was a brokerage fee, the rest duty. I most likely would have bought it anyway, but if you service clients internationally as I was told they did, it might be something to mention. I buy and sell things online all the time and "to my door" price is to my door not "to my door" plus this and that. Not a huge issue, but it did kind of turn a sunny day cloudy.

I can understand that it would have been a nasty suprise if you hadn't been made aware of it up front.
