That might help a bit, but honestly its a new product not a lot of people are gonna have it yet. Also if you want a better picture of what it looks like and stuff the best place is summit, they have a install pdf and it has a decent picture. Gibson doesn't even have a picture of it on their website I don't think..

I'm probably the only person on the board with the Gibson exhaust. I like the sound. IMO it sounds better than the Borla. The welds and quality are top notch. The only possible issue is that it is a tight fit near the heat shield but that is a potential issue with any catback.

Yeah sounds pretty good, only thing is the tips look a bit long. I just got Corsa clones so it'd be nice if it was easier to weld them on.

I print screened/croped that larger image from the summit instructions

It shouldn't be an issue putting the Corsa Clones on. The tips are 12 inches long but that allows for adjustment as to how far in or out you want to position them. Any other system is gonna need to be cut to change tips. The tips could be sold for $35 -$50 to offset the cost.

Check the Gibson website. They have some sound clips there but I'm not sure if they have an Fbody one.
