New lower price is 499 shipped your only chance to get this exhaust at this price because one of the bracket will be removed, after this shipment is sold out, price will go back up to 650.
Quick update. I got everything back together moments befor my softball game so I took the car to the Fields. It sounds fantastic. It is not loud but as my buddy says it sounds like a beast under load. I would also describe it as sounding mean. Several of my friends that were helping out today said they love the sound. I did not have any drone at any speed. I have not yet installed the cats so this is with cat back only. I will take another crack at the hfcs on Saturday.

As Thomas (NissanGeneration) said I had two issues. First is the black exhaust canister sheild on the passenger rear bumper needed to be removed due to possible rubbing issues. The second and more critical issue was that one of the support brackets on the mid pipe was welded too high and was coming in contact with the driveline knuckle where it meets the rear diff. The simple solution was to cut the bracket off and now its good to go.

Thomas (NissanGeneration) was extremely responsive and helpful with all my questions. This is some of the best customer service I have ever received. I PM'd him after business hours twice and both times he got back to me via PM, email and phone within 15 minutes. Thank you Thomas.

The only other finishing touch I need to do is find a way to push the passenger side muffler tip in. I prefer it flush with the body but its sticking out maybe 1cm. The tip just doesn't quite have enough adjustment but this is a very minor detail.

My friend shot a quick in car video with his phone. It really does not do the exhaust justice. Its actually pretty deep sounding in person.
