Be patient lol, there will be plenty of better pics once I get the tips even etc and I'll do the sound clip as soon as I bolt the I-Pipe back on.

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.

Finally got the stupid thing on, I borrowed a cordless impact. Those things are freakin awesome!

But anyway took an idle clip and stationary rev clip, hopefully tmrw I can get some drive by video and splice it all into one video and put it on youtube for everyone.

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

Figured I would update this thread with a video. Only 3+ years after the fact lol.

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.

another good option for longtube guys

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.
