I got mine today. Fits good but the one problem is that these nuts and bolts included do NOT match. The threads are way off and the bolts are very loose. I need to go to Lowes tomorrow. I saw this exhaust posted on another site for $180...can't remember if that included shipping. I took plenty of pictures....might post some.

Yeah I got new ones..no big deal. My other issue is that I got a drip at the rear. I think I had it too tight based on torque specs. But even then it still drips. The 3" outlet hole mated with the stock 2.5" inlet isn't working out I don't think. Should I have uses the stock gasket with the 2.5" opening?

as posted earlier. I am running top speed and the ebay y pipe (sure win). Just check my signature. All of you on the fence or not sure here is some feedback. The ebay y pipe will fit to the top speed fine no problems. I used stock gaskets. Second, it sounds GREAT. In my opinion, I wouldn't trade my exhaust for another. The Y-Pipe makes the top speed 2x as loud and my system straight rips now. I cant tell you how mean it sound driving in traffic when i switch over to manual mode and run up 1st 2nd and 3rd gear.

So for all of you looking at this thread. I have this stuff, I love it, it fits great, sounds great, doesnt kill the pocket book and has durability as I have been running for months and months

I have the same setup but have yet to install it! It is too cold for me to take the car out so I still have to wait. The only addition I am looking to make is some Berk HFCs. This is the sound I like.
