The tips are polished double wall, and look nice. The jury is back and the verdict is in. I made my wife go take it for a drive and I listened when she left, anf it sounds killer! She came back and says it's faster or quicker or feels that way to her. It's a shame her Jeep sounds better and will stomp all over it, but it's two completely different worlds!

OK, I got to spend some time with this thing on Saturday. We went on the local PCA run Saturday morning. Top down spirited driving, this thing sounds terrific. Even the different people that were behinds said it sounded great. Let me make one thing clear, this pipe is not for sissy's! Top up highway driving in tough to take for any length of time. Short trips of 30 miles or less of freeway running at less than 75MPH are about all you want to do. I normally drive faster than that, so it doesn't bother me too much. We took a video in the car, and then one up me running past at full blast, but i don't have it on my computer yet. Anyway, I still like it, but it wouldn't be my choice for a freeway car.

P Dub-

That thing definitely looks loud and I'm glad you like it. I hope you continue to like it over time.

I'm sure it is lighter than stock, but 20-30 pounds sounds a little aggressive. I think the stock system is about 35 lbs. total if my memory serves. Anyway, anything lighter is better, especially on the extreme rear end of the car.

Well, I have a clip I will try to post, but it seems to echo between the buildings. Also, my stock exhasut is out and it weight about 50lbs, so I would say the Stebro is about 35 - 40lbs lighter, it weighs less than 9lbs! The clip sucks and I don't know if this posting will work, but here it goes.

Looks like it didnt post, i dont think the attachment system here accepts sound clips, you might have to upload it to some kind of host that accepts audio and then give us the link to it afterwards. I cant want to hear!
