Install went just fine. Fit was good. The downsteam O2 has very tight clearance from the subframe, but if you push the lower tube toward the center of the car as you tighten things up you get better clearance. Articulation of the engine moves the pipe vertically anyway so clearance shouldn't be a huge concern for that O2.
The sound is not quite what I expected with the stock exhaust. It's a bit blatty & ricer-boy sounding. Gotta tone that down definately, but it demonstrates that I've got some exhaust velocity going now. 
Initially, the cat looked OK, but on closer inspection I discovered that the catlyst material was getting clogged with carbon and/or other deposits. Hopefully, this will solve more than one problem for me.

sounds like a magnaflow center res is in your future, the longer the resonator the more mellow it will sound.

Yep, that will be phase 2 of the quiet down. Phase 1 will be installing a cat. Sorry, it's the daughters car so I've gotta keep it totally legal.

WR = Weapon R
Frankly, the headers are just about the only thing from WR that I have observed to be of adequate quality.
