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.

your muffler delete had 4 hangers? mine only had 3 like the one pictured in the initial post:

Installed my Works AB-M today and I LOVE it!!!

It was mentioned that it sounds like the Nameless exhaust and I think that's an accurate comparison. The Works exhaust has a slightly deeper tone than Nameless which I've heard in person.

Tone is deep but not too loud, just right. Absolutely no drone and if you're switching gears at 3k like I do (yes, I baby my car), you barely even notice it's there especially if you have music on. And when you step on it, the sound it produces is AMAZING! It's a subtle growl and doesn't sound cheap like the ricers have on their civics .

Here are the pictures:











My only criticsm is that I noticed the right side sticks out just a few millimeter compared to the left. Not a big deal and not really noticable.

Someone requested a video with stock set-up @ScionFrsFan, I'll take a video and upload it as soon as I get a chance.

Much props to @86_ZN6 for the smooth transaction...highly recommend!

Got my AB-R on (got it from 86_ZN6 on Tuesday, thanks!), loud with any throttle input but surprisingly quiet when idling or just coasting. I like the sound a lot in general, hopefully I won't get annoyed of it from driving it daily though. However, put put me on the list of people that can't get the tips to hang perfect. It looks EXACTLY like your pics (except that I have the AB-R).

I actually brought it over to a professional shop to see what they can do for me. They put my car up on a lift and everything, messed around for about half an hour. They couldn't line up the tips any better than the pic you showed - and this isn't some small shop that doesn't know what they're doing. Pretty high volume and they're an authorized dealer for Borla, Flowmaster, etc. exhausts. It's this shop if anybody is curious:

I really like the exhaust and this is just a minor issue, but it seems odd that everybody has the exact same problem. If it's just adjustment I think some people would have a higher left tip, higher right tip, etc. but this is always the same orientation. Maybe Works can take a look at their design again so they can change something for future customers? Or maybe the design is fine, but the process for making each one for each order has some issues?

Thank you for the review !!! Can't wait for sound hehe!

I was able to adjust the right side this morning. It still sticks out but not as much as yesterday's picture. I think the lube we sprayed made the hangers a little loose.

@86_ZN6 do you have any ABM exhaust in stock or is the turn around time still 2 weeks when you place the order?

Keep in mind that your car's frame and other aftermarket exhaust parts on your car can also factor into the fitment. The best option is to take a to a professional exhaust shop that does in house welding so that they can cut the hangars off, realign, and reweld based on the fitment to your car.

Nothing is in stock. Everything is made to order

We can probably make you one within 7 days
