that sucks dude, glad you are getting it done though. nothing worse that stripped nuts. only thing that gets me is why do they call this a cat-back exhaust when it is only a mid pipe and muffler? never understood that one

whats up. I just so happen to be the guy he bought it from. sorry to hear that your having a rough time with it dude. As for the install i did it myself. How i got the tight a** nuts out you ask? Well i backed the car on to ramps in the back and lifted it in the front with jack stands. Then when i had the socket on the bolt i simply gave myself some space and kicked the ratchet handle. Nuts broke right off and unscrewed perfectly without damage. This is when i had about 13k miles on the car. Let me know when everything is cool and post some clips

Gary... Dude this exhaust is siiiiiiickkkkkkk! I must've drove a hundred miles in a 1 square mile area to day, lol... didn't get a chance to do the sound clips yet, but I will tommorow...
This exhaust is so freaking deep with zero rasp or drone. I got a thumbs up from 4 people, haha. When you get on it, you hear that disticnt VQ throatiness pour out of the rear... It sounds like the stock exhaust times 10... It added a bit of torque I noticed as well. When I stepped on it coming out of the parking lot of the shop I was like "whoa."
It's my first vehicle other than my bike with an exhaust and I absolutely LOVE it. Hands down the best mod I've done yet.
