Started off this morning removing and weighting the stock parts


Front pipe: 12.1lbs



Midpipe: 12.5lbs



Axleback : 26.75lbs







So Final weight Tally
HKS vs Stock Frontpipe: 8.25 vs 12.1
Midpipe: 13.25 vs 12.75
axleback: 24.75 vs 26.75


Total loss with HKS setup: 46.25 vs 51.6 = -5.35lbs


Spent some time with a harborfrieght die grinder to grind down the inside of the welds smooth



Easy Job used my tar stuff again on the gaskets and bolted everything on. Just match the direction of the flanges exact and everything fit perfect first time! Fitment gets A+


Cat Strikes again photobombing me



Nice tips fill the hole



Sound: again I wish I could set something up for clips that will come later
Its very Jeckly/Hyde in a good way. Obviously cold start is loud. While cruising the exhaust is very quiet close to stock. Put you foot into and WHAM the sound volume jump up quickly. Not too low bassy, no drone, more on the higher pitched scale but without the rasp. So flooring its pretty loud enough for me but no annoying sounds just a straight wail.
