B&B Exhaust Install

So, I bit the bullet and installed a cat-back exhaust. I chose a B&B for a few reasons:

1) Reputable company that has been around a while and I like the results I have heard/seen on 911's
2) Vistited their website and liked the look/description of their product

but mostly,

3) found a guy on ebay who was local, put this exhaust on his boxster and didn't like it, so I got it for less than half the cost of a new one.

My Impressions:

Sound is definitely improved and confirmed by my Pcar buddy. It really frees up the sounds so the flat 6 that has been killed by the stock exhaust. There is no resonance and a nice throaty sound on acceleration and an addictive gurgle on deceleration .

Doesn't feel any faster, but has a little more response especially from a dead stop. I definitely find myself revving out the motor a little more than before and the sound is greatly improved in the 2200k-3000k range and then then the induction sounds begin to take over.

I weighed it 3 times and it came out 8-10 pounds lighter than stock.

It was kind of a pain to install and I did have to remove the bumper to get to the main hanger bolts above the exhaust. I think I could do a much better job on the next removal/install after doing it once.

Anyway, I have some install/after pics and videos below.
