Default Got my Rumbler!

I got my Rumbler installed yesterday and I'm liking the sound so far

I got it installed for $75 at a local muffler shop and I had them weld it evrywhere instead of using the clamps TSP sent, what do you guys think of that?

BTW TSP has great service, I ordered it Mon. afternoon and it was to me in CA by Fri at 10 am,

Enjoy that exhaust now... once you add headers and ory, you'll be pulling it off.

Not a bad price, I left mine clamped together, so if I do want to take it off it's a little easier

any problems with the passenger side exhaust tip?? When i got mine the passenger side exhaust pipe wasnt bent correctly. I called TSP and they told me to stick something in it and bend it myself. Boy was i f@#king pissed when he told me that! Couldnt do it myself and never took it to a muffler shop to get fixed yet, so i still have a set of Mecham $175 tips sitting in my garage that cant go on yet.

Had a similar problem with mine, but turned out I had put it on wrong, you might try loosening the clamp, and rotating that piece of pipe, until it lines up right. I's easy to put it on wrong, there aren't any witness marks to use to line it up

I had a hell of a time trying to get that tip to look right. I reused my stock tips though.

The piece I got isnt bent correctly either, if you line the tips up heightwise than they dont have the same angle when facing you from behind. Its not noticeable but I came in with the idea that I would get my tips looking "perfect" and this is kinda disappointing; not bad but not perfect. I'll get some pics later today.

believe me i did try spinning it around both ends and everything. Didnt come out the back of the car straight any which way, was always on a slant. its honestly my only complaint though, other than that love the sound and for the price of it with no tips, cant beat it.

Heres the pic:

It looks like they're even from some views but ultimately everyone has decided that my right tip points down compared to my left tip. I say everyone agrees because friends have told me while theyre driving behind me and my brother noticed right away when i brought my car home.

But ****, I think they look pretty damn good
