i have the AB. here's the pic from when i first installed it:



i did adjust the hangers a bit after this picture (spent maybe 10min) to a point where it definitely looked better, but they seem to loosen themselves back to the same position. it's really not that bad, but it's noticeable. i trust that it's a hanger issue though. gonna play around with it more extensively come spring, too cold right now. also i still wholeheartedly recommend the exhaust. the sound more than makes up for this minor issue.

Hello there.. i am very interested with your simple styled and awesome exhaust system.. unfortunately i have an automatic ZN6.. is it still available for automatic and without ecu tune ? Since Neither reflash/piggyback is available in my country, Indonesia - South East Asia..

If it can live and gain acceptable powerband, like no sacrificing low end etc since i'm driving it daily and traffic is problem here.. to be honest i'm only looking for more bass exhaust tone..

yes this exhaust system will work on automatic cars as well. all results posted in this thread are with stock oem flashes. NO tuning.

if you want more exhaust tone, i recommend the AB-M catback

Had my muffler delete on for about 1000 miles now. I absolutely LOVE the sound of it. Never too loud, but always loud enough. Now it sounds like a boxer should. Also, Ive had a 2-3 MPG increase since i installed this, although i did get a K&N filter at around the same time. The combination of these has really made the car alot more fun to drive and a little bit more efficient. I couldn't be happier with my mods so far.

However, my right side also sits lower than my left. It doesn't bother me too bad but its noticeable. I used all 4 hangers though. I'm probably going to play with taking one or both hangers off the left side, as id like it to sit as low as the right.
