Well That thing was a B!tch, They had to cut the one demon bolt off and the other top bolt broke off too. But now they are on and here is my quick review:

At startup, it didnt sound like anything had changed, just the nice deep growl I got from the CBE, which is good, I dont want it too loud. I have the 12 inch resonators so Im gonna be a little louder than most.

Normal driving you can hear it is a little louder than with just the CBE, but not too loud as to be too annoying (spelling?). It does open up some when just driving regular but still resonable.

WOT, the damn thing screams and I can hear the Hiss (what everyone calls it). You know your on the gas at WOT and people will notice it. I like it as as WOT Im wanting whoever is by me to know it.

Havent really been able to tell yet if my butt feels any difference, maybe some better throttle response. Since I already had the CBE I wasnt really expecting much of a gain as like FI show its only a few HP. But since I had already paid for them, THEY were going on and I didnt car if the bolts agreed or not.

When in Park and I step on the gas and gun it a bit, man you can hear the volume in the exhaust and so will the neigbors.

Now I have my VDC and wheels slip lights on, tried disconnecting the battery a few times, even took it back to the shop for them too look at, couldnt get them to go out. Used the Cobb to reset, they come right back. So the shop is taking the car to another shop that has a professional diagnostic device like the dealerships have and they will reset the "steering angle sensor" and see if that works. From what I found on line its the SAS that has to be reset any time its messed with and I guess he took it off when he did the work. If that doesnt work then they will buy a new sensor for me.

I will see if I can get Alex (red370) to use my camera and get a vid/audio of the exhaust note now, as I owe it to ERZ too. Hope to have it up in a couple of days.

Edit: fitment: Fitment was perfect, they bolted right in, no adjustments needed.
