because they get it from the factory its legal.

Looks good, but one of the drwbacks in performance is that there is no equalising between banks and that costs you Hp. That is why a X pipe is so important or in case of a Y pipe, the Y merge.

Well it does have an H-Pipe. It is a street car and sound is important to me, I had an X-Pipe in previous exhuasts and just didn't like the sound it gave it. Little to nasty for me if you get what I'm saying.

The whole exhuast is very light weight, then again it's only a few feet long. I never put it on a scale but it is no problem to reach under there and pull it off/put it on one handed while the other hand puts in the bolts. Kinda nice I can pull my exhuast off in 5 min without jacking up the car.

Pretty cool man. I had thought about welding up something fun like that. I've got vband clamps on my headers so I guess I could make all kinds of exhausts that have a Vband collar on them and change them out. I could keep my hooker exhaust for quiet times, and make some TDs for the hell of it. I think if I did that then I would only have to turn 4 bolts to change out exhaust systems... hmmm you're making me think now!

Updated pic is about all I have for now. As you can tell from the first video it isn't REAL load for DD duty. Yesterday I passed my friend coming at me and he didnt see me. as I was passing I did the almighty 25mph kickdown. He texted me about a min later saying I scared the **** out of him and he thought the world was coming to an end for a second, lmao. I really do need to get some more videos.

It is pretty sweet man. All I do it loosen the bolts on the clamps at the headers, pop the four bolts at the end of the tips and slide it off. It's so easy my little 105lb girlfriend did it once.
