MUCH less than i was expecting actually...maybe an inch or 2, very subtle.
drove today with top off on the highway, and what nice music to the ear.
you will like it

is this just a muffler or does it replace the secondary cats?
cost?
how hard to install yourself?
did you REALLY notice ANY power gains? it seems on a lot of cars, a cat back does nothing but make more sound, but if you remove cats, or go high flow, you cant get more power depending on the car.
i have NO idea how choked up the stock exhaust is on a 2.7L car... if you can pickup 10+hp, maybe you'd feel it.
have you driven it much with the top up? does it drone? hurt your ears?
on soft top cars, i've noticed some exhaust mods can really make the car a nuisance to drive iwth the top up. years ago i had a miata, and thre on a cheap muffler that sounded great with the top down, but top up it droned so bad my ears hurt and I got rid of it for a higher quality tuned system that was far better..ut it still droned a little.
how is this one?

hey,
well to do it yourself you need to take the bumper off (there are aproximately 8 screws holding it) and then you can see like 6 or so bolts holding the muffler on, take them off and muffler will slide off.
i just replaced the muffler, and didnt touch the cats.
as for the drone with top up, i honestly say it,there is none! very exciting because i was actually expecting some at least.
as for power, i didnt notice anything to be honest...and wasn't expecting any lol, its a porsche LOL
BUT, it is lighter, saves you few lbs, and sounds and looks better, so im all go, same as the expectation and power gains from expencive EVO intake lol, sad but true (well cost me a MAF sensor so add another $200)
would i pay anyone even a dollar to install this? no
would i recomend it? yes
drone? none
sound? sweet, not loud, throaty, growly
weight? saved
power? none
looks? better

hmmm, strange, i dont get ANY drone, and i had my buddy w me today and we both agreed that there isn't any.
as for the pics, just go to tinypic.com and upload a pic, then copy and paste the line that says IMG in it, all of it, and the pics will show up.
