I put mine on during my lunch beak, about 30min.

It does hit up against the bottom of the car everyonce in awhile during bumpy turns.

There are no tentioner bolts, just solid connections. Everything fits real good though. No problems.

it took me about 5 minutes to get the resonator on then all hell broke loose with mine day lol... it sounds mean with just that on though. its going back up on the lift tomorrow morning

Well its all done and sounds better than I thought, I was used to things being so much louder so this is a nice change

Get a pulley and it sounds real smooth during acceleration. Glad you like it, it's a bargain at $175.

oh, let me know if yours stinks for the next few days. Mine stinks, I haven't really got under it to see if it was burning anything.

i did notice that there was a little bit of a smell coming from it when i got out of the car. i'll keep you informed if it gets worse. so far so good though, i gotta get my intake soon too. that was tax returns will be for

thanks for pointing me towards this exhaust.

Well pretty much anything will be quieter than my flowmaster 10 series, which I might be willing to donate to anyone looking for a really loud muffler. A pulley is on the list for after tax returns

i would be interested if it is for a xbg2 and you want to get rid of it. let me know! thanks

Smell is gone, so is the rattle. The flange between the mid-pipe and rear section rattled against a bolt to the suspension, I stuck a rubber bumper between the two to stop it. I love the exhaust, cost was just a bonus.

Quite often exhaust system parts will be coated for rust prevention. This coating will quickly burn off after the car is driven a while with a warmed system. The smell usually dissipates before you get the extinguisher! However, I'd want to be sure I wasn't burning my ride. On a side note, I was wondering about engine compartment temps with headers considering the heat shield has been removed. A nybody ever notice higher running temps or other results?

I don't think engine temp changed much with the Header, haven't noticed any changes.

i gotta add one thing about this exhaust if you live in new england it will rust up pretty damn quick.. cheap stainless, none the less its still a pretty good exhaust for very little money

I've been checking out all the ebay exhaust and I may have to try it.
