Is it a cop caller? (Read somewhere that the h-pipe mellows the sound to the human ear...)
No time to find the proper H-pipe location yet to match the pulse waves. Need some paint and a nice warm up on the engine to see where to place it. A badly placed H-pipe is worse for performance than no H-pipe at all. With the small mufflers I chose and an exhaust leak at the rear manifold, it was pretty loud. I've got resonators to put on it, but just haven't had the time yet. Still better sounding than my 3" SMA quasi-dual I had before that.

Brad, if I knew how to weld, I'd have gone that route, but no skills.
Brad, how tight is the exhaust around your gas tank? Does it hang low?
The MIG that I use takes almost no skill to operate... uh, as long as the wire feed motor isn't stuck on high anyway causing obscene spatter. (Bird crap welded CAI for reference)
Fit is tight around the gas tank. I had to trim a couple of spots on the heat shield to bend them up, but I still use the factory hangers in those locations. The rear isn't quite finished on my car, since it's hung with tie wraps for now... O.K., they've been hung that way since before Spring Zing, but I've been busy!!! :p
A huge gain in performance too. Not even compareable to any quasi dual system I've had on the car, including a modded SVT exhaust system, the SMA, and another custom job.
