Invidia deserves more credit :) INSTALLED

First off, I can't thank Gordon (Invidia-USA), Nick (THMotorsports), Gwhipped, and Soundmike enough for their valuable information and guidance. Unfortunately, the exhaust came dented with a ding the size of my fist (THANKS UPS); in the process of getting them swapped out. Despite, the exhaust's pretty darn impressive. It's relatively cheaper, but I was surprised nonetheless with the build quality of the system. I'm not too fond of the exhaust note (possible leak - sounds like my old TL with broken pre-cat deletes aka harley bike), just yet...but only time will tell. Overall, me likey .

Your HONEST C&C are WELCOME!!!

PS MUCH LOUDER than I expected the system to be. I can't imagine other systems being louder than this...!!! Definitely louder than my previous TL (Comptech Exhaust, RV6 Pre-Cats, RV6 J-Pipe, Test Pipe)...YIKES!

the leak can be from a exhaust gasket. This is why i try to use the oem style multi layer gaskets, it has always saved me the headache of swapping them out cause of a leak!

^ will do. but honestly...it's a little embarrassing. something's definitely off in the exhaust note. can't seem to figure it out...can't find leaks (but i've only visually inspected the bolts). will have to check in the morning to see if i can see fffuuummmeesss...

i kid you not - it sounds like a damn bike

hm...TBH? throttle...body...headers? lol i have no idea what that stands for...

i'm guessing there might be a leak following the headers to resonator piping. odd...no cel being thrown.

edit: to be honest? lol
