The car just PULLS all the way up to redline, something I did not feel as much with the stock exhaust/cats. It definitely feels that the engine opened up and can breathe significantly better. I was pretty impressed.

Yep, at first I was just gonna have the catback installed. That was gonna cost $85.

Then I asked Tony how much the install was if I bought the HFCs too, and it was only $15 more, so I said screw it... go big or go home and had it all done at once

I managed to take a couple of videos today. Forgive the video quality, it was kinda breezy and the video was taken with a cheapo Canon camera

Take Off

Drive By

Enjoy!

Does anyone else get a raspy sound from their stock exhaust? I hear it get really raspy like some cheap **** exhaust from about 4k-6.5krpm. I don't have the exhaust rattle a lot of people have had and got replaced, but my exhaust, imo, sounds like a cheap piece of ****. Anyone else notice that?

I haven't had that sound... I know you said you think you don't have that rattle other members have had but you might, only its rattling at a different rpm... Maybe maybe maybe

Hmm, I'll attempt to hold my camera by the window while I drive and shift gears at the same time. See if I can upload the sound for a new post, see what people think. I think it sounds like *** and it makes me slightly ashamed, but I could be over analyzing it too.
