Default Got my Gibson catback today

Have to say I'm pretty impressed with LMPerformance, I ordered the exhaust yesterday morning and it arrived at 8am today, which was rather suprising but best of all the shipping was free!

Anyway I literally just opened the box, figured I would give you guys some teaser pics. Before anyone asks its the stainless version and I'm hoping to maybe get it on tonight which would = a soundclip.





Random picture of some of the welds.

$467, which seems like a good deal for a stainless catback about the same as the non dual tip magnaflow.

NICE catback. It comes with single double walled tips. I replaced mine with Pypes 6x3 oval tips. Nice sound without being annoying.

Looks good. I have honestly never seen or heard Gibson exhaust on anything except a truck.

Post a sound clip when you get it installed if you can.

it is a chambered concept. It has 2 pressure chambers on each side of a sideways X. There is a picture of the internals at the Gibson website. I noticed a definite throttle increase even down low compared to the stock WS6 exhaust. I was shocked, I didn't think I'd feel a difference.

Put the exhaust on today, it's really quiet compared to the open plate borla I had before I like it. Of course though I have no idea where my camera went but hopefully I'll find it so I can get some pics/video on tues when I have some free time.

Unfortunatly no sound clip for today. After I put it on the other day the I-pipe disconnected from the over the axle section. It happened because we tightened the u-clamp with a wrench vs an impact because it was starting to rain. Then today I didn't have the tools to fix it and decided school work > car, I'm hoping to get to it thursday.

Here's a crappy pic though, the tips are pretty huge (dual 4 inch), I still need to adjust them because they aren't even. I'm also thinking about getting stainless band clamps because I'm not fond of how those U-clamps look from the rear.
