Agreed...this is the first exhaust setup I've had and kept for any length of time. It is pretty tame just cruising, but at WOT, it sounds like the world is coming to an end in rather short order. You'll definitely attract attention...good and bad. Have never been pulled over for it being too loud though.

you think cats will mess up the sound? exhaust shop said they could do it no doubt but would have to keep the cats on before they would do it.

I actually think mine would sound even better with cats. There is the slightest hint of a brash tone with mine under load at low RPMs, and I think cats would pretty much eliminate that.

Honestly, I don't blame the shop for insisting on cats. I think it is about a $10K fine if they are caught doing it...I opted for no cats on mine because I don't have emissions right now, and I didn't want to worry about them clogging on me. I'll eventually get another mid-section fabbed up with cats for an easy swap if I ever need to get it tested.

If I didn't have the CME on mine, I probably would have gone with some Corsa tips (or Corsa clones). For some reason, those have always appealed to me more than the other regular type tips...just my opinion though.

Yep...even on a Camaro. I'm kinda weird like that though...there's really no accounting for my taste.

dont do cats man... you should put coated pacesetter headers on it, and then have a shop make you true duals.

take your liscence plate off and take it to the shop on a trailer, say that it is a "offroad/track use only" car

It might take me a while before I can get a good pic...I'm in the middle of studying for finals right now. I'll see what I can do though...

I'm lowered about 1.5" up front, 1.75" in the rear. I've only scraped the driver's side just behind the header collector a few times, and haven't since I've moved from Florida to Ohio.

I used to live in Fort Walton Beach, and the only places I ever scraped were in ridiculously inclined driveways. Personally, I think some of the driveways up here are even worse, but I'm better at negotiating them now (and why I haven't scraped).

The exhaust itself was fabricated at Speed Inc. in Chicago...yes, I drove from FL to Chicago to have it done two years ago. My parents live in Indiana, so they helped me get it up there and back over Christmas.

From the pics it looks like you dont have an X pipe. Is there a reason why they didnt put one in? Also, is it 2.5" all the way? Where did you get the new upper panhard bar to make it all fit?

Looks really nice and sounds even better, what would it cost to have them make something like that for me? Thanks!
