Stebro is on!
Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn this baby sounds gnarly! Fit and finish was great, looks great on the car. At idle you can tell this baby is going to make some noise. Its pretty mellow until about 2200 RPM, then it brings the noise. It sounds killer while excelerating, or anything over about 3K. Between 2200 and 2800 it has a definite frequency it hits, but i would not call it droning, I would call it a deep throaty (sounds kind of naughty) frequency. When you get up to 5k, you want to keep it there because it sounds phenominal!. Then you put the top down and you think you are at the track! Any way, here are a few pictures to go with my yammering. I didn't weight the two, but I would say this drops a good 20 - 30 lbs from the stock unit. I just realised the picture of the entire back of the car had too much shade on it so you can't tell the exhaust is even on there, but it really does look good on the car.

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!
