The good: Ordered the system on Monday. Josh contacted me, inquired about tip selection (SS angle cut). Arrived on Thursday. Laid out system in living room (great being single!). Everything went together nicely, and looked great. Got under car...sprayed break-free on cat flange bolts...got impatient...rounded nut (keep reading and you'll see why this was good). Early next morning went to local muffler guy...$50 to put on system. 1 hour later...insert key...hold breath...vroom. At idle...quiet. Partial throttle...very deep and even. No rasp...rice...or Honda-ness at all! Full throttle...sounds like GTS Brahbam!!! System sounds fricken great!!! Definatley louder than stock, but no drone. I haven't listened to my radio in 3 days!!
The not-so-good: Packaging wasn't too great. Mainly newspaper. Had a stutter scratch in one tip that didn't show when installed, but still, could be better. Wasn't quite bolt on. The exhaust guy removed 2" off the first pipe coming out the muffler to line up hanger, and then 1 1/2" off each side of the Y to line up tips. If I had been in my drive-way...I'd have been mighty frustrated. Even getting the stock system off the hangers in the driveway would have brought major tears!!
Overall: Great system for the money ($310+$30 shipping + $60 install =$400...minus $100 for stock SVT system sale=$300 out of pocket). Most local exhaust shops were quoting $250 plus cost of mufflers for custom system. And that left them building the Y at the single/dual split...scary!! Sounds fricken awesome!!! Very deep...no pops when letting off the throttle. just growlllll!! Sounds like nothing I've heard so far...cept maybe a GT Mustang. Its that deep. At 6500 rpm...woo-hooo!!! I've not heard the Bassani or Borla or Brullen...except the sound bites, but since I paid half...I'm damned stoked!!
