After reading this entire thread, I'd like to see some posts from those who have received the product. How do you review it? Was it worth the wait?

It took 1-2 hours without a jack. For me, it wasn't worth waiting over 4 months. For $430 you really can't go wrong. This "removable" silencer was a PITA to take out. I knew that I won't be expecting any extra horsepower and I'm fine with that, I just wanted to make to stock sound louder. I started to smell burnt rice or oil from the back but hopefully that will change after my ECU starts to relearn, maybe?

That smell will burn off after a couple of days. I left the silencers in on the one on my Z. Man its almost too loud even then. Plus I like the way the car purrrs after it warms up with them in. For the Z the sound is good, the wife loves it. A little loud but once out on the open road it quiets down nicely and does not give me any drone. (I did a full true dual cat back on the Z)

Oh and to edit, I still wouldn't run it on my G. A bit loud for it in my opinion.

I'm having the same issue with the silencers, can't seem to get them to come out. Removed the two allen key bolts that are supposed to secure the silencers in there but it's really wedged in there. I figured driving around with it for a bit might help since the metal would heat up and expand but still wasn't able to pull it out. Might try some WD-40 and some clamps with a twisting motion to see if that gets them out. Overall I like the sound even with the silencers in, as expected no real power gain as far as I can tell but I think the sound will be a bit better once the silencers are out but that's just personal preference. If I don't like it I'll just put them back in.

Looking good Daren! Just as an FYI to anyone else who has or plans on purchasing this exhaust, I did manage to get the silencers out of the tips. The process involved spraying both the inside and outside perimeter of the silencers with WD-40, then I used a metal rod I had laying around with a "U" shaped hook on the end and slide that into the silencer to pull it out from the inside. Then I attached a slide hammer to the metal rod and with when hit the silencer popped right out. I know that sounds overly complicated and "ghetto" but it worked haha. I think the trick is just finding something that you can slipe into the silencer to hook against the back side and then attaching something to that with some mass behind it and giving it one quick jolt to pop them out. Hope that helps someone out.

Few problems I found out, maybe cuz mines an IPL but:
1. The Megan racing gasket doesn't fit, so I had to use the stock gasket
2. My bolt was tack welded so I had to use the stock bolts
3.The silencer was a bitch to get out, I had to find a strong hook and work my way from the inside and pull outwards.

You can tell a big difference in sound. Felt a improvement in throttle response.
