I got my exhaust installed today. Finally the car sounds like a sports car should sound! I haven't been able to open it up, though it has been hard not to, as I am still within the first three hot/cold cycles. The exhaust (18" resonator) coupled with the HFCs was the right choice for me after all (I switched from my initial order of 12" resonators). I wouldn't want it to be any louder than it is now.
A big thanks to Tony for getting the exhaust to me undamaged (insane skills with bubble wrap) and right around the estimated time of arrival. Now if I could just get my Venaci wheels I would be ecstatic (5 months and counting).
Thanks again Tony!
