all you need is a jack, jack stands, basis tools, and a friend to assist.

Depending on what you come back with i may be looking at cancelling this order.

Sorry I thought the website would have been able to accurately figure out shipping to Canada.

Please PM me.

I have the axle back without a resonator. At first the exhaust was super loud to me, but I got used to it and don't notice it anymore I've had it for 2 months now I think...

Sounds very deep and a little burble here and there

you mean the axle-back with the resonator right? as opposed to the axle-back with the muffler.

I would love to hear the Catback w/AB vs Catback w/ AB-M. I'm REALLY considering this exhaust from what I've read and heard so far . And I wasn't considering an exhaust upgrade this soon.

so i got the resonated axle-back. i would have loved to buy it from @86_ZN6 as he's a great seller, but i was too impatient so i bought it from WORKS directly haha. here's my initial review from my car journal:

installed it this afternoon. the install was pretty straightforward, but the damn hangers. real pain in the ass to get out. definitely have some WD40 on hand as they're in there good. took about 15-20min to swap the exhausts. initial impressions? sounds fucking incredible. it was definitely louder than i expected, but it sounds great. in-cabin is also pretty loud when you're driving locally, lots of starting and stopping. on the highway though, after the speeding up to get to coasting speed, it's not bad at all. there's really not that much drone when you're not pushing the car. on my first drive i was definitely a bit paranoid (first exhaust), but second drive i was already used to it and i am really enjoying it.



also noticed that it's a bit lopsided. i gotta fix that tomorrow. i think it's just a matter of adjusting the hanger grommets on the right side. right now though they won't stay in any position other than all the way down because of all the WD40 i used on them haha.
the drive to work today was fun. roads were relatively empty due to the holiday and i really got to test it out. there definitely is some drone as our cars are rather poorly sound insulated, but it's not bad enough to bother me. i'm considering looking into dynamat down the line though.

here's a quick in-cabin video i took this morning while getting onto the highway:
