Worth buying?

Too much noise for me. But i guess the VQ makes it sound better then a 4 cylinder.

 

Wish I could hear it properly before buying. All I can find is a crappy quality Youtube video. I like the sound of the coupe exhaust though, and it's probably pretty similar.

 

I have mine and paid $170 locally. I went from coupe mid and hr y pipe to this with hr y pipe. Out sounds good in my opinion. If anything I just don't like the can style. I've never heard it without hr y pipe either

 

Where did you find it for 170?

 

I got local off Craigslist. Guy sold his G and I decided it was worth the risk. Ended up liking it

 

Good deal. I ended up buying it from Top Speed Pro for $240 direct. I'll post again when I get it installed.

 

Not installed yet because the weather got cold, but here it is.

 

What's the diameter of the midpipe? Is it about 3 inches?

 

No, it's roughly 2.25" ID (inside diameter).

According to TSP: 60mm Piping / Dual 89mm Resonators

 

Wondering how the sound compares to the Megan Exhaust. I have the M2 Performance YPipe with Megan mid and Megan Muffler and it is really REALLY loud. My wife refuses to be in the car with me since I put it on.

Might be time for a change for me. Any thoughts on sound people? Louder or quieter than Megan?

 

Great, please get some sound clips when you get around to installing..they're down the street from me locally and i'm considering purchase.

 

Why are you guys spending money on 2.25" piping exhaust? Isn't that stock diameter?

 

After the y-pipe the piping makes no difference in performance other than sound. The 2.25" piping is better for performance unless you're boosted.

 

I removed the stock exhaust today. It wasn't difficult to figure out but it was hard work. The bolts were corroded/rusted on there pretty good. One was particularly difficult and I ended up soaking it multiple times and kicked it to get it started. Getting the muffler free from the rubber grommets was also tricky. Again, penetrating lube is your friend. I used a pipe wrench to get the hangers started then worked them out by hand.

The car was backed up on rhino ramps. I feel safer working with ramps than jack stands, if possible. Here are some pics.
