So ????? How's it sound & what kind of increases do you think you got ???

I want to hear some sound clips.

Hope it's what you want.....I was deeply disappointed with the tone & smell. Looking forward to seeing it in person sometime at a meet or AutoX.

I'm curious to see how similar it is to my exhaust. I have a custom dual 2.5" exhaust with 2.5" fast intentions resonated tp's. I just have the magnaflow dual in dual out muffler with built in x pipe is the main difference. (and probably a big difference)

Well like I said the sound really was never a big thing for me. I could care less if it sounded like a lawn mower. I made a couple sound clips but it just sounds so stupid on the camera, not bad just different which would be pointless to even post. It looks amazing on the nissmo though, I had a huge gap where the bumper just leaves off, now sitting it that place is huge muffers and resinators.

The gains, ah so far great but have not been on it yet. Especially cause I don't have a radar and I am in such a highly policed area. I really can't afford to screw up. Parents still pay a lot of insurance and if I get a ticket, boom gone. I am sure I'll be heading down to the george bush broken service road and roll down that empty 3 mile soon

I don't have the test pipes yet but will next week.

I would love to arrange another dfw meet, but I live with the parents. Hopefully there will be a decent event or something come up soon that we can have an excuse to line up the z's.

So in conclusion the exhaust sounds, looks, and performs past my expectations. It's getting sweeter day by day. I didn't expect much, I mean 350$ ... lol!

You need an iMac !

Portable units have too many issues.

6 core 4 way server will not be available until late next year.

I just finished installing the same exhaust, but with the xo2 test pipes yesterday, and one thing that really bothers me is the new o2 sensor positions. they ride dangerously close to the ground and are now the lowest point on my car. when you install test pipes, definitely try to angle them upwards, otherwise it might cause you some problems.

Does anyone know of a fix for this? are there some lower profile o2 sensors i can buy that wont stick out nearly as far?

^ There are such things as angled non-foulers. I know honda-tech.com sells them for $30 each, or used to. BTW, the O2 sensor bungs being positioned that way hints at the quality of your test pipes. My 3rd or 4th pair of test pipes were like that and I ended up ruining cutting my O2 sensor wires during a scrape.

Another option is for you to just close those bungs up and weld in new ones at a local exhaust shop.

Ok thanks, I will look for some angled ones. The angled ones won't cause any adverse effects will they? If I can't find any I might be breaking out the old welder.
