The shop that installed the exhaust mentioned how this system might have issues down the road due to the lack of a flexible region. Is anyone else concerned about this?

Just like Jidonsu, it will quiet down significantly as it breaks in.

Catback or headerback? Nice. Welds look fine, don't know why some people were talking smack about them.

Welds are good IMHO. The only problem was putting the system together, spent 2.5 hours.

Has anyone experienced odd noises from the exhaust? I get weird burbles at around 65-75 when cruising. Also, it sounds very stiff when I hit bumps of any size.

I haven't experienced any noises. Are you hearing with Windows up or down? Do you hear it over the radio?

And what do you mean it sounds stiff?

ICEBONEZ, Do you mean backfires? The exhaust should quiet out a bit as you put some miles on it.

+1 to "what do you mean it sounds stiff"

IMO, the backfire makes it sound 1000 times nicer. I love making mine backfire haha.

Have always loved the sound of backfires with a boxer, wasn't saying that is bad at all. It just seemed that he was concerned about the loudness of the exhaust.

Personally I love the sound of the SRT! Just not the wait, so much

Luckily I have a 6-sp and love the volume of the smallest resonator. No need to wait any longer. I'm sorry you guys have had to wait so long. But you will be so happy....

Anybody strip their exhaust studs on the crossover pipe? One side came out smoothly without any need for pb buster or , but the other side stud nut sticks and I end up shearing the stud. Bah. It felt like I was working on a 30 year old car. Bah!!! Going to get it fixed tomorrow.

Same here, let me know what they end up doing and how much it costs to get it fixed. Are you talking on the overpipe or on the manifold that connects to the overpipe?

Genomaxter · 10-08-2012, 03:13 PM

Same here. I was putting on the nameless midpipe and one nut just wouldn't come off. Lucky for me I was putting the pipe that replaces the overpipe and midpipe all at once, cause I cut that prick off.
