I was also experiencing that. But the Gamma mufflers took care of that.

Great Price from tony on the upgraded tips will probably order them as soon as i check out someone elses fromt the rear. Also as everyone else stated customer service is awesome, communication was super easy, and the product is just amazing. I think i have more pictures of it off the car then on the car because of how awesome it looks. Every weld is flawless, I mean i have compliments daily about how it sounds.

Is it wise to run a rear diffuser with this exhaust? I ask only because I thought I read somewhere where the stock muffler acted as one.

the power gained from the exhaust would probably compensate for any aerodynamic loss. i haven't heard of any problems with people running single exhausts, in which the same concept applies.

It was more so because I wasn't sure if the empty space from the stock muffler would create an air pocket at high speeds and bend/rip the rear bumper off

I have heard of front bumpers without the front plastic underguard bending due to wind. Just covering everything I can think of

that would be hilarious, but if you keep the car under 160, i don't think you have to worry much

if you're worried about an air pocket you could do a bumper tuck to help a little without having to spend much, but it would look like sh*t with the motordyne imo.

It seems like everyone switched to the gamma, is it that much of a sound difference. IMO the straight pipes looks amazing and allows for more clearance.

The tips are now 4.5".

Rolled or straight lip.
Silver Titanium or Blue Burned Titanium.

Have you seen the pictures of them?

Just installed my dual gamma today (thanks Juicehead!). Easy install and great sound. One issue, however: does anyone have any tips (pardon the pun) on getting the tips to sit level with each other? My left side is hanging about 3/4" lower than the right. We tried rotating and wiggling everything from the xyz on back, to no avail. Rotating the midpipe may have helped, but would have brought the pipe into contact with the sway bar. Any pearls of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Mine were also off. I had to call Tony to get some spacers to lower the right side down. I personally think this should have been resolved in the manufacturing processes instead of a fix.

You need about a half inch spacer for the 3 bolts on the right side bracket near the bumper to lower that bracket down a little. It will level it out perfectly.

Never heard of that, mine set even to each other. Maybe its with the gamma muffler sections?
