I'll admit, I got this exhaust system purely for looks. It's a cheap enough way to get rid of what my wife not-so-lovingly refers to as the car's butt-hole. I took mine to an exhaust shop and had it welded in rather than use clamps, because I've got bad history with the clamps.

It's a bunch louder now. Jury is still out on if I like it or not but I'm promising to give until at least the next oil change to pass judgement. I *think* I like it, but I need more miles under varying conditions, and I understand it takes some miles to break them in properly.

One thing I did notice is they appear to ship with a coating that, once heated, will flake off in a fine white powder. It wipes right off and doesn't alarm me, just thought I'd mention.

A picture of the installed exhaust:


To my eye, this is the sort of exhaust tips the car should have shipped with originally.
