I wrapped the midpipe on mine in 4 layers of heat wrap and made a 90 degree bracket to push the pipe off the pan but that being said it is still super close. Took me like 2 hours to get that little pipe off the front; those little bolts were rusted the f' in there.

I will snap a few pics for you tonight SRT if someone else has not already done so.

If anyone is interested in taking my SRT header back order, let me know. I need to sell it because I need the cash

So I came home to see a box at my door step!!

A box.

According to UPS, the second package (the axle-back section) was never given to UPS. The label was created though. What gives?

I've been very patient throughout this transaction, but my patience is wearing thin.

Finally got everything buttoned up and running. Took her for a ride and the first thing that came to mind was 'holy dear baby Jesus in your manger this thing could wake the dead!' I think I might have a 'slight' exhaust leak. You can also notice that it is touching the transmission by the way the car shifts. I seems a tad on the harsh side and give a little wiggle..

I am uploading the photos now.

Okay the pics are HERE

I took the bracket off to put the wrap thingys on and didn't put it back on. It was a bitch and a half to take the pictures so I doubt they will suffice. A wasp actually stung me about 4 inches away from my sack during this outing..

I am #28 and I haven't gotten a tracking number or anything on wanting a cat or not. What gives??? I've had to phone in every time, rather than Mo and company calling me. Patience is thin now.

Hi Guys

Do we have before and after dyno's yet with this exhaust? Also.. If I want to eventually turbo the mofo is this a good setup to go for?

Some feedback on driving experience and feel on power delivery would be luverly

The stock exhaust is enough for turbo up to about 300hp, so I am assuming this would be fine for a little more.
