From the looks of it, just a little bit. Might be enough to align the exhaust

Who's gonna try it first lol

I just pulled the trigger after using a $15 ebay coupon. Came out to $365 shipped. Here's hoping the alignment will be fine when I get it

It's been installed for a few weeks now and I'm completely happy with the purchase. The quality is excellent, except for the slight alignment issue, everything else about it is perfect.

It looks great in the exhaust cutouts in the stock bumper and the sound is exactly what I wanted--a clean, notch over stock deep tone. I heard it for the first time from outside the car this past weekend after getting an alignment when the tech drove it and I was really impressed. The sound is so clean with no rasp or farty sound. The sound in the cabin is just a notch over stock but when you get on it you know it's there. If you're concerned with pissing off neighbors, cops, or sounding like a ricer then this exhaust is for you. My gf hasn't commented on a difference in sound so its definitely mild.

The alignment thing isn't noticeable unless you are up close but i want to fix it bc i have ocd. I want to attempt it this weekend but am not sure what bolts I am adjusting. Isn't the stock exhaust essentially in a fixed position? What part of it will allow flexibility to allow the muffler to be realigned? Has anyone tried yet?

The alignment is perfect when dangling from the hangers but once bolted up it favors the drivers side.

I can confirm this.

I'm very happy with the sound, fitment, and overall value of this axelback. Would definitely recommend.

Here's a pic:

Installed mine recently. Quality seems very good. Sound is very good as well - slightly more mellow (deeper) than stock, only marginally louder at WOT, no noticeable increase when cruising, no popping or rasp. Tips aligned pretty well - both tips are slightly inboard of the center of the exhaust cutouts, and the driver's side protrudes a bit more than passenger side (but I think I can play with the hangers and fix the latter issue). Overall quite happy for the money.

I'll have a sound clip up, just bought an omni-directional microphone to capture this. Also, installing headers over the weekend for MOAR power. Equal-length, the sound should be interesting.

I don't think I'll ever go headers but I definitely want to get a new FP down the road.

ck-GT86 · 05-24-2014, 05:14 AM

Here's the sound clip I captured earlier today

Enjoy!

Headers will be installed on Sunday, can't wait.

Ck, the vid is without the header right? It sounds quite a bit louder than mine. I guess the stock MP and FP quiet the exhaust down quite a bit. What's that little monitor by your rear view??

B-R-Z · 05-24-2014, 09:24 AM

Sounds a lot louder than mine, too.

JonAvalon · 05-24-2014, 09:45 AM

@ck-GT86 is that with the Works MP?

That is much louder than mine as well, hmmm interesting. I thought about getting the Works MP before.

B-R-Z · 05-24-2014, 10:09 AM

I'd love to hear it with a catted UEL header, with everything else stock.
