It's on and for the price couldn't be any happier :dance:

It's not deafening with the top up and has a nice growl ,comment was made about sound discomfort at 2k-3krpm I noticed it but also realized it when I was in 3 rd gear and should've been in 2nd as the rpms were below 2k and as the car came up to speed thats when I heard the sound.

I did cat back only and plan to do air intake shortly,mine is a 2.7 2003 with 49000 miles and plan on doing 60 k service @ around 53 k and while the lid is off do the intake.

I also saw a post "eBay muffler" with a sound clip and I must say that's the exhaust I bought and mine sounds much better with no distortion,might be device used to record.
