Quality isn't bad at all... The drone can get bad for some people but honestly it doesn't bother me at all. I love it! Outside of the car the exhaust sounds mean. Inside its ehh... but its what they hear on the outside that counts!!

Alright, So I've installed this exhaust on my car this week. And after getting the company to ship all the parts that were initially missing, it's finally bolted on completely. However, the tips are pretty far offset and too high on both sides. Anyone actually tried fixing this themselves instead of getting a shop to? If so, how did they go about doing it?

Thanks, Tyler

you could try a torch from the hardware store to heat up the hangers doubt you'd get it hot enough or have enough play to get them good enough though. You best bet is to find some mom and pop type exhaust shop that will charge next to nothing

I got mine installed today and the left exhaust is high touching my bumper and it is not centered. I really suggest bringing it to a good muffler shop to heat the pipes and fix it.

I got mine pretty good... spent $100 install plus the fix...all good...ill post a pic later

Well, I just finished installing mine. The tips were real far offset and too high on the right. It was extremely easy to fix. All I did was weld extra roundstock and bend with an oxyacetylene torch and vise grips. Turned out perfect and took only about an hour and a half.

For those of you who are lazy or don't know how to do it, bring it to a shop and get it done right. Post all your pictures and videos in this thread so everyone can see them I'll post them along with my review!!

I love the exhaust more and more everyday. Even my Girl wants to drive my G more , when she has a full kitted Nismo Z, because of the exhaust.... LOL

And now that I have had the exhaust for a couple months now , everything has settled in, no more smell, and the exhaust seems alot smoother and a little big quieter, not as harsh.

Have the very same exhaust, got mines from Statik, very good exhaust, sounds nice, definite mid-high end gains in the RPM.

if the muffler tip is off use a propane torch and bend with pliers and you're good to go...
