Yeah, have them look at it for sure. This will help if you want to look yourself. From the side of your car just behind the front tires look under the car and you will see your catalytic converter and then behind that the main cat back flange where the Brullen should bolt up to (Black pipe should start here!!!!). Behind that on a stock exhaust is a large muffler at roughly the center of the car (you can't miss it). This should not be there with the Brullen. You should just see all black pipe. Just look under the car to make sure this is gone. If it isn't, the exhaust shop has a little explaining to do.

Well I'm pissed off cause my Bosal seems a lot louder than stock. Looks like I should have gone with Brullen quiet and you should have gone with either the Brullen loud or Bosal. But like you said, oh well.

No I don't want it super loud. I just wanted to be able to tell a difference!

on the amanda's car its seem the previous owner weld a pipe in place of the resonator, instead of bolted it. Normaly it suppose to be a 2 bolt bracket right after the main cat instead of the long pipe That's probably why she gots all of those problem to fit the system ?  ??? what do you think

That might explain one of them, but not the rest of us. BTW Alessandro told me I might have mine next Friday (May 2  ) and I can put it on finally?

Am I supposed to be waiting for the corrected pipe to be shipped out to me or are we just stuck paying extra money to get this system to fit???
