Took 30 mins with a lift and an experienced mechanic (he also fixed/welded an exhaust leak at my headers). Since you do not need any special tools and can do this with a jack/jack stands I would probably say an hour....all depends on how stuck the old system is (and of course your own skill

)....you may need to heat the bolts to be able to remove them, otherwise there is no hardware needed...the exhausts reuses the stock clamps and mounts to the existing bracket.

I drove around in my town today and must say - with the top down and flooring it this exhaust is LOUD....I like

i can not wait to put mine on next week . the tail pipes are a little out of align on mine too. i used two 1.5 inch blocks by 15 or so inches and tweaked them into alignment.

The welds actually look very good on this exhaust.

Holy kimchi ! I should get some kind of an award or recognition from the Chinese Trade Union for introducing these Charlie Chan mufflers to the forum !!!

Ok....

I didn't find these mufflers through this forum though, would a pat on the back suffice?

Aren't those mufflers and headers made "in Taiwan"? For sure not made in China as I've been looking/asking everyone here and everybody in the business tells me they are from Taiwan. They in indeed the best given their low cost!

Taiwan=China, it's complicated....

And yeah, all things cheap are made in Asia....maybe it's all "China" for an American :P....doesn't necessarily mean it's poor quality though.

Actually, that award would have to go to Che of Deluboz, who was the first to import them, would it not?

That was a wonderful day. I remember seeing his post and being the first to respond, gaining a free set of headers and this muffler out of the deal for dyno'ing the car before and after and posting the results.

Yeah, at twice the price .

i drove around a little in the rain today . it seems like the charlie chan gives a few extra beans .

DenverSteve · 07-23-2011, 02:03 PM

Looks good. I'm not an exhaust mechanic but I have had custom exhausts done on other vehicles and it seems as though 2 mufflers and a little pipe welded on by an exhaust dude shouldn't be more than that $350???

Hello from Red Square !

Porsche tax not withstanding, you get what you pay for. "Custom" exhausts that are a bunch of standard tube sections welded together to fit in the car as they go won't really do much for performance.

Sweet that's great to hear, I'm going to buy them when I get paid this friday. And I'm definately a fan of loud exhaust ( I previously owned a Mustang GT with headers and a catless X-pipe after my 944 was wrecked) so hopefully this helps solve the muted stock exhaust and let some more of that flat-6 growl out.
