Its hard to line the picture up correctly but the tips stick out the appropriate length, a little further than stock, all parts are spaced evenly. Nothing is off center. I had the system put on by a local shop, and they said it was very easy to put on and ran into no trouble. Took about an hour and a half to take off the old system and put the new one on, it was nice out so I told him to take his time with it, BSed with him, so I'm sure without the interuptions it would of been no longer than an hour. Sound is subject, but I like it and it doesn't sound like a rice burner. I was actually suprised by the volume, I thought it would of been alot quieter. If you are turned off to this exhaust because you think it will be too quiet, trust me it won't be. I have no had it dynoed, however my butt dyno feels an increase in low end torque and much more power midrange. Overall I am very happy with the exhaust. And to those people who say it doesn't line up right, you are eather looking at a hasty install or you need your eyes checked because mine came out fine.

-Edit- Forgot to say I have had 0 issues with clearence. I have had no scraping or rubbing and I've been over some sketchy roads. Also by driveway is very steep and unless I come in and off at an extreme angle my front spoiler scrapes every time. I was concerned that this exhaust would do the the same and no matter how I come in and off it hasn't touched. I was pleasently suprised.

It is now July 3, 2010, and I have had this exhaust installed for 3 months. I must say this exhaust is excellent. Now that the exhaust has had time to really break in the tone is not much louder then stock, however it does have a much deeper, exhaust note. It sounds sexy, not tinny or anything of the sort.
