got the exhaust installed yesterday morning in the dealership. They've ordered it directly from stillen (shipping to nj was about 100$$) and installed it (2 hours of labor). I really like the sound, it's deep and not loud at low rpm. When high revving, that's a totally different story - together with intake and ztube, the roar is just great. In terms of extra power, I think the car got a little faster, but that maybe just my wishful thinking.

 

There must be something wrong with your pics cuz i cant see em....

Is this the exhaust you got?

 

He's got a sedan...

 

Hmm. I have the Gen 1 on an 03.5 sedan and it made an unmistakable increase in torque and power all the way up. The Gen 2 was supposed to be no different in power and retains the important X-Pipe design. Give it some time to adapt to the new flow and you will be happy with the gains. Get some resonated testpipes and you will be really happy.

 

wouldn't it drone with testpipes though?

 

Oh.

 

I have resonated testpipes and it doesn't drone. You will want to wrap them with header wrap to cut down the rasp/pipe ringing though. I think the Labree are very thick walled and probably wont need to be wrapped.
