Yay i finally installed my FI catback today. It took me 4 hours with just hand tools and a stupid tall floor jack. It would have been way faster but i had to use the jack that comes with the car. Had to lift it high enough with the crap jack just to get the good floor jack under the damn car. So yeah, lifting the car taking off stock CBE and installing the FI one and dropping the car back to earth (still had to use both jacks). Plus i had to try and find where my tire was leaking air. That all together plus a fast lunch break in there, right at 4 hours.

Great news!

You're a brave man. No way would I get under my car with nothing but one or two of those jacks to hold it up.

So how does the non-resonated sound? Are you getting much drone? Did you end up cleaning it out or just letting the oil burn out?

Well once i got the good jack under it i put four 3 ton jack stands to hold it up. I haven't noticed any drone, but i haven't got it on the highway and up to speed. Once i get a chance i'll let you know, i didn't clean the inside i just scraped that orange crap off and rolled with it.

haha sweet... can't wait to hear what you think about the drone at cruising speed. I can't help wonder how much louder yours is over mine. You need to come up for Cars & Coffee in BR next month.

It's deeper, but when it has warmed up it doesn't seem that much louder than my stocker. For some reason the stock catback i got from punk was super loud compared to any other stocker i've any heard.
