@t88supra , how did the welds look like? Good craftsmanship?
I messaged one of the vendors selling this exhaust on eBay and asked them if they would give me a discount if I did local pick up since I would be saving them eBay fees and shipping costs. They told me they would and gave me their address. When I went to their warehouse I saw that their sign said DNAMotorsports / J2 so I asked the guy at the front desk if J2 is also based out of their warehouse and he said they are. I asked them if their welds are done by hand or machine and he kind of hesitantly responded "robotics".

OP,

What wheel are you using?

It kind of seemed like you're on 18" Gramslight 57Xtreme.

I am looking to get one for myself in the future... how heavy is it per wheel?

i love mine, i get compliments all the time. if your on a budget, you will not be dissapointed. only thing is can say is, if your lowered more than 20 mm, the pipe that bends around the diff hangs a little low and my scrape from time to time.

I've been listening to YouTube videos of the quad exhaust and love the sound. I'll probably be adding this to my to do list of modifications.

If during install the muffler pushes into the heat shield, just get some longer rubber exhaust hangers

I installed mine about 6 months ago. It fits ok, was just a little too close for me, so I ran by an exhaust shop and they gave it a quick pull down, to get it away from the body just a little. They did not even charge me for it. It was that easy. Also the sound is amazing, I feel a little bad for my neighbors in the morning at 6am when I leave for work but every other time love it.

Installed today, no issues at all, minus the stock exhaust hitting me in the head. All parts were in box, gaskets and bolts were out of package but they were accounted for.

All in all, it was a 4 beer job. Took 2 hours cause I'm an idiot but dammit it was installed the right way! Love the sound. Love the sound. Love the sound. Love the look. I'll post pics soon.
