Yep! Pretty much everything had to be reworked. The brackets were on the wrong side of the mufflers when I received them. Mine was definitely not a bolt-on job. After spending money on the installation I didn't really save too much $$ on this GB. I am, however, very happy with it though.

Well if I have to pay to have rework done on mine I won't be happy as I would install it myself otherwise. If it needs welding I'm SOL because the one metal I can't weld very well is stainless.  Kinda defeats the whole savings thing.

Ummmmmmmm... Yeah..... Your muffler hangers do not even resemble the location mine are in???? Are you sure somebody did not do some work back there????? Strange... Yours was built in June, Mine was built in April, such a big difference.

 holy batman does that look like A LOT of work! I wouldn't pay $100 for an exhaust if I had to or pay someone to do ALL that to it! No Offense, I have the Brullen to and everything bolted on, I have a 99 by the way. I think Brullen see's this as some sort of stepchild car or something thrown together because I hear constant fitment issues, I guess I got lucky, although my driver's side tipe sticks out about an 1 1/2 to far. I love the performance though. eric

Dumb question... In picture 29 it seems that you still have the stock resonator on there????? Did you tell them to do that. This would explain why you did not notice a sound difference. Am I just seeing things??? It sure doesn't look like the main cat.

As far as I know the stock resonator was removed before I purchased the car. I dunno! So are you guys saying that my exhaust should look like that? I'm confused now!

Don't mean to confuse you. All I am saying is that your muffler hangers on your car are in a different location than the muffler hangers on my car and they are only 3 months apart.
And I still think there is some sort of muffler towards the front of your system in picture 29. It looks like the shape of the stock resonator, but it could be a replacement.

I dunno! I guess I'll have someone look at it. I'm not sure what its supposed to look like under there so I wouldn't know it anything was wrong or out of place. I'll have the SE CEGer's check it out Saturday at our meet.
