It looks great. By the way, If you want, the "gold " heat coloration around the welds comes right off with just a quick wipe with a little metal polish. I used Mother's, and shined the welds like chrome. Let us know how it sounds.

hmm.. I was excited reading this thread til I heard the sound sample. I'm eyeing the Injen at the moment and I'm not digging the sound. Great deal, though, if you don't mind the sound.

ya, i think most of us agree that it looks dumb with silencers, but what exhuast doesnt look dumb with a silencer in it? The stock exhaust looks really nice and obvioulsy fits perfect, through a set of silencers in those tips and look how stupid it would be. (please im not telling anyone to do this or that i even thought about it, just trying to make a point)

Well, I have been running the PIT for three months and about 2,000 miles and I continue to be impressed. It looks great, the sound has not changed, it is holding up perfectly to daily real world use. I highly reccommend the PIT system. Top quality, bargain price.

Damn, 3 days ago I said to myself: "Don't get an exhaust. Can't drop 1k on one."
Now there's one for $250. I think it's time for an exhaust. :-P

One thing, I know its a matter of opinion, but honestly, does it sound at all 'ricey'? And does it drone? From the sound clip, seems as though it drones at idle..

I don't think is sounds ricey, As for drone, there are a few spots in the RPM range where it can drone a little, ( is there any system that doesn't have a tiny bit of drone?)but nothing objectionable in my opinion. I think it is extremely similar to the Nismo in terms of sound quality. I am a picky person and I have been very pleased with the PIT.

I paid less than $70.00 for installation. It was a very fast job. See the pictures earlier in the thread.

The PIT hooks up perfectly with the stock Y pipe, it's about 70mm, so you probably will have to do some custom work. On the sound, louder I would guess.

Great deal guys. I just had to resurrect this b/c I have been seeing people talking about the EBay stuff. Nothing wrong with it, imo, plus from what I have seen so far, it's pretty good.

Yeah I got quoted $85 for an install myself. I'm sure it can get lower though.
