I put in in yesterday. What should have taken an hour took almost 4 due to poot fitment. The stock exhaust came off with no issues. Turns out it was some made in USA shitty stock replacement. Didn't seam to have any packing inside the mufflers, just chambers. No wonder it sounded so bad when I opened up the exhaust. The main problem was the RP catback didn't like up quite right with the y-pipe they supplied. After messing around with it again and again I still have a small exhaust leak at that joint. I am going to try putting some rtv there and if that doesn't work, maybe try putting 2 gaskets. I also had to bend the hangers a bit so the tips wouln't rub my bumper. Other than that, I broke another stud on my presilencer. I don't know what the guy who had it before me did to it, but the studs are all messed up. I'll easily thread a nut on, but then it gets stuck and won't screw back off. I had to use a pipe over the ratchet and the stod broke. Luckily there was enoughs stud left for me to to thread a new nut on. If I ever have to take the presilencer off again I'm going to replace all those pos racing beat studs. The exhaust sounds good, with the exception of a little raspiness that I think is the exhaust leak. Its nice and deep, and not loud at all.

Its ok. If you didn't read my other post, I hit a big piece of metal on the highway and it tore open one of my mufflers. I'm about an hour from rp. I normally get stuff for myself at cost but I needed it right away.

The chrome tips look great against the purple paint. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

my tips wouldn't hang quite right either. I ended up bending the hooks and using wire ties to hold them in the correct position.

They sound good enough though, so it was alright, and the price was a big plus.
