awesome cant wait man do you have testpipes?

 

I finally recieved my Agency Power exhaust from fedex. They tried to play games with me and not deliver it until 4pm, I was like wtf!? Anyways, about the exhaust. I get the Z up on the lift and took the rear bumper off and un-bolted the axle back. The bolts and hangers gave me some trouble put used some PB blaster and came right off. I get the mid pipe off and go to install the new one, and where the new mid-pipe is flatened it is resting right on the skid plate. I was concered about it viberating and creating a hole, but I carried on with my install. I get the exhaust all bolted up and the fitment is very accurate other then the issue I stated. There is no exhaust leaks that I could find.
I had took my resonator off of the stock exhaust and it made the stock exhaust a little louder. Before I ordered the Agency Power exhaust I had took my muffler off to see what it would sound like, and I thought it sounded really bad**s but it had WAY to much drone and was raspy in the higher RPM's. So I said to myself, If I could only get the stock exhaust wo/muffler to quiet down, and not be raspy I would love it. I then installed the Agency Power and that was perfect! The sound of the exhaust is amazing, it sounds like you have the stock exhaust with no muffler, but there is NO drone or rasp, which is PERFECT!! from 2k-4k in the rpm band sounds the best IMO, the sound is deep which is what I was going for. Then at WOT the sound turns into a performance tone which also sounds really good too! Furthermore, if you want the best of both worlds I would go with this exhaust.. Here is some pics of my install and the finished product! Thanks

 

Haha...we told you that it sounded awesome! Dayum, it must be nice to have access to a lift! Why did you pull the rear bumper off?

 

Yeah it does sound awsome! I work for my friends dad's heating and cooling business and they installed a rotary lift when they built the building, so I'm spoiled lol. I took the bumper off because, I had took the stock axel back off before in my garage and the bumper was keeping it from coming of.. There is just 4 to 5 screws so no biggie.

 

Did anybody else have the problem of the flattened mid-pipe still touching the skid plate?

 

yes i had the same issue, i wrapped the skid plate with some heat wrap to avoid the minor vibration noise you can hear as it taps the skid plate when driving. its noting serious, but i did it to avoid any potential wear on the pipe over time.

 

I thought about doing the same thing, although I can't hear mine vibrating. I was worried about wear on the mid-pipe also but then again it is Stainless Steel..

 

if you don't want it to touch. order a stillen ypipe. i run berk hi flow cats with stillen ypipe. i have no touching issues. but i didn't have any touching issues on my 03 either or my 08 when i traded in. im trying to find my video camera now to put sounds clips up.

 

bump for sound clips

 

lol gimmie a bit, waiting to pick my girl up from work so she can record for me. gonna do a drive without silencer and with silencer. i

 

haha gonna have to go out to the country to make some video clips. to many damn cops sitting up the road from my house. ill have to make tomorrow.

 

After I done my bumper tuck, looking at my car from the back, my car looks like a monster truck lmao. It sits so high, I need to lower it.

 

Yeah lol mine is slightly lowered and the same way

 

^^^ What do you mean the same way?

 

With the rear bumper rolled it looks like the car is sitting to high.

 

+1 on that.. I thought bout going with ebaich because of the reputation and lowering height. But I dont want to have to get it aligned either.
