Well I got it on! The most hardest part was getting the stock exhaust out of the rubber hangers. Boy that sucked. You must have a partner to help hold the pipes in place it makes a world of difference and a guy who works for my dad helped me out and it was great. It took about 2 hours or so maybe a tad longer. As for the sound it is definitley a much deeper sound! That rocks! I am really surprised that it is not loud at all. I have the mach...maybe I should have got the race.

I believe it was deepblue who told me when he started it up he was like

and so was I. However after revving it up you tell its a nice deep tone. I can even feel the deepness if thats a word, upon revving it. As for performance feel I am not sure yet. I want to say the ECM needs time to learn it maybe? Not sure how long that will take. My next mod is a tune so that will help tie it all together. Boy the solo is much smaller than that stocker and what the hell do I do with that big stock exhaust!

The tip is awesome seems much bigger and it all fits excellent, very great craftsmanship.

I just need more driving time maybe "break it in" somewhat. Overall I love it! Love the deep tone and its not loud at all....very surprised by that. Thanks solo! i will try to get sound clips up this week.
