Yeah, I just looked and I only saw the 4 hangers and 2 14mm bolts.

I got the overpipe combo as well. Looking forward to what they come out with for headers to add on.

Did you guys get their bushings too, or are you going to stick with the stock rubber bushings?

edit add: i got the new bushings because i dont like the idea of it bouncing around too much, and also because i've had bad experiences taking off old exhaust hangers out on past cars (albeit they had 100k+ km's on them and the hangers were rusty which made them a major bitch to remove)... So i won't feel bad if i have to cut them off lol.

Should receive my axleback next Wednesday!

As far as bushings go, I decided to keep the stock ones, for now.

I got no bushings, the stock ones will do with some lube for ease of installation.

Why yes I did mean that picture.
You guys are going to love them.

Bushing wise I left my stock ones in, they do a decent job of keeping it centered. I do plan to upgrade them eventually though.

Mine's scheduled for next Wednesday too :happy0180:

I'll put in the Axleback Wednesday, drive it to get a feel and add the overpipe/downpipe over the weekend to see how louder is each component.

Looks like most of those are offset, with a few centered versions in the background? Or maybe all offset version. Look good. Every purchaser will be happy in a short while!

Curious to get your opinion on the loudness of each piece.

I ordered the regular axleback. Hopefully adding the over pipe/downpipe in the future won't make it too loud.

For both of you, I ordered the kartboy hangars. They're $2 cheaper and kartboy has a sale going on right now. 12% off $25 or more with KARTGIRL as the coupon code. That's probably only good until today or maybe tomorrow as they're expecting a daughter any day now and that was until she's born.

I already confirmed through them that these will work just fine for the BRZ and the nameless exhaust. http://www2.kartboy.com/x4/product.p...0&bestseller=Y

I have the stock bushings on it right now and I have some kartboy bushings sitting around from my WRX. I'll put them on this weekend and see if there's any difference.
