The Exhaust Came Today....
Well it has arrived as scheduled $900 shipped from that ebay auction I posted alink to last week.
I can see why some of your overall impressions about the quality and the welds. It looks like the OEM system so not much to look at besides the tips. On a side note it came with some directions, and I will add this, I seriously cant believe that dealers are charging $200-$300 to install this thing. I have owned some pretty insane cars in the past and done my own mods, from superchargers to full k member and long tube header swaps all done by me, this will be a walk in the park. Seriously this is a $50-$60 jobbie at a local exhaust shop. The hardest part for me will be putting the car up on my ramps and on jack stands. I dont think that the total labor will take more then a 1/2 hour. Stand by for my DIY.... Also for referance I rented the exhaust cutting tool from Autozone for a refundable $50 upon return.

Nice! I've got one coming soon and I'm also planning to self install, so it will be great to see your DIY.

a sunoco gas station across the street from my restaurant did it for 40 bucks and a pizza! The sound gets better but you dont hear the exhausts true potential unless you leave the exhaust flap open. I love the way it sounds at low speeds. Im happy. I was disappointed at first now its much better.

I am thinking of getting the M Performance exhaust...
Was curious how different the M Tips look from the stock ones? For some reason to me, the M Tips look smaller than the stock tips? Or am I wrong? Also, videos I watch on youtube, some videos the exhaust sounds really good, and other videos it sounds non-existent. Can someone shed light or describe how it sounds compared to stock? Is it louder and deeper? Or is there barely a difference? I am wondering because I am torn to go with the M exhaust or if I should wait and go with a different aftermarket exhaust. I want something louder, but nothing too annoying or overly loud. At the same time, I do not want to put the M exhaust on if it is barely noticeable or other systems sound cleaner / better / better performance... |

Yeah, it should be pretty straightforward. I've done a Remus axleback exhaust before, so I have a rough idea what I'm in for.

The tips to me look the same except the stock ones are rolled and look beefy.

Yes Im wanting to break it in so I get it to sound the way it should. THe DIY is coming up. Quote:
Im not sure its like that even on the oem. The M tips are bigger and welded on, and you can see the smaller diameter pipe inside. Kinda cheesy.

NO problem. I cant really elaborate until its borken in. It is not that big of a difference right now. If you really want something louder and not too crazy that challange exhaust sounds really damn nice. Not sure how or if it will drone. I did this because I didnt wanna be annoyed and want no part of warranty problems.
