Mine's RWD. The tips were seriously rubbing the bumper to the left (I have to sand and re-paint the portion perhaps). They cut a portion of the pipe in order to push the tips to the right, as the trace of welding shown in the pic.

After reviewing the manual, it would appear that either the drivers side hanger is an inch too close to the muffler, or there was a design change between the test car and mine.

Only a little bit of drone at about half throttle but once the car is cruising you hardly even hear it.

Long term reviews? Satisfied/Dissatisfied? Drone or Boom? Highway speed tolerable noise level or annoying?

+1. I'm waiting for long term reviews as well. I think we're on the same boat here. Just wondering, what other exhaust are you considering?

AWE Tuning & OEM M-Performance Exhaust.

I would like something that is a touch louder than stock but doesn't come with the drone and resonance associated with most 4cyl exhausts.
