PS does anyone know what the grounding strip that bolts to the exhaust is for. I need to hook that back up because i forgot to hook it up due to me rushing to finish so i can go get hammered

maybe because your hearing one car at idel and the sound of the exhaust. not just the exhaust alone combind with using some crapy mic off either a digital camera or cheapo camcorder.

So pics of this installed, review, sound clips, dyno!!?!?!?
I will take installed pics this weekend. As far as vids go i will try but i have never posted a vid so i will have to figure out how to host it. There is a noticable loss in torque but the car pulls harder in the 4k+ rpm range. The car sounds just like it does in the original video that was posted by one of the sellers. So far i will say i got a tremendous deal on a decent quality exhaust.
Does it sound anything like the original HKS??? We want sound clips!!! I think as long as the exhaust fits ok, and there is no horrible power loss, then why not save some money and get the knock off, if it doesnt sound like crap.
