Any power increase?

Sorry, I didn't get any pics of the exhaust itself before the install. It's pretty big and heavy though, no weight improvement over stock.
No resonance. The only issue I have is some kind of vibration only on the left side. I think the exhaust outlet is hitting the metal bumper (under the bumper cover) on that side at very low RPMs. Other than that though there are no issues with objectionable noise.
It sounds just slightly louder than stock. It does not have an aggressive sound, which was a disappointment to me. No power increase that I can tell.
I've said this before and I'll say it again... if you don't want resonance in your exhaust you've got to go with something that has resonance chambers, like the stock exhaust. The smaller, light weight, straight-through, and loud designs that are out there are simply going to have resonance because of the way they're made. I like this exhaust because it doesn't have an annoying resonance, but it is heavy and not nearly loud enough for my taste. With the Gemballa bumper though you don't really have an option.
