Default Finally Got My Exhaust!!!!

Hello everyone, finally got my duel exhaust installed!
found a local shop, had to show them setups on ls1tech to figure a setup for my car.
-QTP longtubes, 3" stainless steel pipes, cherry bomb vortex mufflers, under axle.-

i must say it sounds really nice and deep at idle! and its loud as hell on the throttle!! haha
but, i have serious ground clearance issues which im having taking care of come tuesday! got a life time warrenty on it, bastards better do it right this time...
anyway, just a few questions about the side effects:
how much vibration is normal coming from the piping, and the headers
themselves????
should i get a tune? i feel a slight difference in power but i know there should be more?!
let me know what you guys think!!
all advice and comments are welcome!!!

Sounds badass man. The tips aren't bad, but i know you'll love the look a whole lot more when you switch to those corsa clones.

Ok... I don't mean to copy your set up here... but i'm totally missing my Y pipe right now, I'm actually on my way to a Meineke in a few hours to get them to do something, by the time you even reply to this... I MIGHT, have it fixed. I too have QTP and heard nothing bolts onto them. So I'm going to head over to Meineke and see if they can make one. I have a Borla exhaust and i'm hoping they can bolt it right to it!
