No sound clips yet, I will have to employ my wife to see if she can help me on that. The ear dyno tells me I gained about 86HP, but the but dyno doesn't know as my wife drives it most of the time. I am sure it did something, and it revs alot easier and free'r so over all I would give it two thumbs up unless this is your dailey driver and you are in it for a hour at a time. It might be too loud for that?

The question now is, will it pass inspection? It still looks like 2 juice cans put together. I think I could make one of those just by going to Pepboys and welding together a few parts.

Should be fine, all the cats are still on, and it's below 95DB, I think I am in the clear. As far as the looks, you only see the tips when it's on, so I think it looks better than the others where you see the can hanging down when they are installed. Of course, if I had one of those, I would figure out a way to describe it so that was a plus! But I don't. Oh, and I also didn't pay $975 for it either, it is after all a best offer auction! Again, two thumbs up, but that's only one mans thumbs so take them with a grain of salt, and a slice of lime!

I swore a blood oath to Dan that I wouldn't spill, but it's worth making an offer!

It looks pretty sick! Are the tips polished? Or just plain stainless...
I think the stainless would be nice once they get all burned and blacked out from the
exhaust gases!

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!
