Considering this product didn't even exist a couple of months ago I think the fabrication time has been great. I can understand wanting them as soon as possible but I don't see a reason to complain yet.

All the holidays and weekends get in the way. I suppose they didn't work today either.

I'm glad it's taking a while. Giving me time to save for it!

****, I'm excited for you guys! I can't wait to read all the right-ups and hear all about the performance increases. This really really makes me wish I still had my MCSS.

I feel the same way. I also want to save for new mufflers (probably Flowmaster Super 44s), tail pipes, and installation labor. Cost of labor will be plenty steep.

If you're not set on those mufflers, there are some better choices out there power wise.

I'm not dead set on those, but I am leaning towards them. That decision was based more on sound, to be honest. Magnaflow sounds more mellow than I like. The Super 44s sound pretty aggressive, in my opinion. Power-wise, though, what would you recommend?

I'm not a huge fan of Borla or Corsa.

I actually used that same article to help me make a decision when I had the exhaust redone on my first truck, a '90 F-150. I finally decided on Hooker Maxflows for that truck. I remember actually reading the article when it first came out.

These days, though, I would rather use mufflers already used by at least one other performance enthusiast. I don't want to try something no one else has, then decide I don't like it. I'd rather go with something that is already used and liked by someone else. Know what I mean?

I'm a guinnea pig right now. I'll do a write up on the "new" setup in a week or so. Maybe it'll sound better.

I rolled them for a while with a catless downpipe and it was fackin' loud and raspy. I liked it for about a week, got a bunch of compliments. Then I drove six hours to school with it setup like that and my ears bled.

Now there's some mellow magnaflows in there.

With video, I hope. I'll definitely be paying attention to that before and after stuff.
