Im surprised it was quiet. Every gibson Ive heard is over the top loud. I have it on my truck and its ridiculous, some people have mentioned them being 95+ decibels. I know my friend if he drives next to me in his Formula and I step on it his ears will ring for a good 5min haha

band clamps are the way to go. Take the tips off and see if it sounds louder. I think the tips quiet it down.

that's pretty cool how it all comes welded up outta the box. Much easier to align up I bet!

Exhaust setup is

ARH 1-3/4 Race Headers (No AIR/EGR)
ARH Catted Y-Pipe
Stainless Gibson Catback
Corsa Clones (welded)

Haha, well at least he finally got it up. I've read so many threads where someone promises pics and/or a vid and never posts it. Frustrating...

And it does have a nice sound to it as well, Shockwave.

Yeah when I first put it on the car still had the stock manifolds and y-pipe. This video is much better and more realistic as people usually put longtubes on if they are going to bother with a catback.
