I just finished up installing the pipes. Yes - the factory clamp connectors are very beefy and there was no problems in reusing them.

The test pipes install was pretty simple, they fit perfectly, and I was able to get everything done in about 1-1/2 hours, taking my time.

Here's a photo of the secondary cats and the test pipes side by side.

It's pouring down rain here in Seattle, so I didn't take the car out for a drive. I just started it up with the garage door open and it does seem to be a bit sportier sounding. (It has a stock S muffler on it).

Hopefully it will clear up here tomorrow so I can see how it REALLY sounds at higher revs on the open road.
