So I'm guessing mine needs to be taken off to bend the heatshield? 2 hours is a heck of a lot of time. Didn't take that long to install them.

First things first, it wasn't "LIKE" you stole it, you really STOLE it and I haven't forgiven you yet

How long does it take these guys to bend the hest shield? Is it just a couple of minutes?

I have an '05 Coupe and will have the Crawford Cats installed this week.

Also, will the Crawford cats make the car sound more aggressive, even though I'm still running the stock exhaust?

Yup yup yup. If you have an aftermarket exhaust though you'll barely notice them.

Can someone describe the sound of the Crawford cats with a stock exhaust system?

1 More aggressive only a little (barely tell the difference)
2 Very noticable (more throaty and a little louder)
3 Louder than a Van Halen concert

Anyone with a sound clip? (even though I probably wouldn't be able to hear it that well)

Thanks everyone for their input, I've always felt comfortable with Lokey working on my car even though I spend a little more, it's worth the extra attention from their mechanics. The parts were supposed to arrive today but being a holiday might push the delivery schedule back now, I'll be calling John tomorrow.

John and his techs did a fabulous job installing my Crawford cats and headers. I have no rubbing and nothing was bent. I have a sedan, so that may make a difference.

Where did everyone buy the Crawford Cats and do they come with any kind of warranty?

Do you have a link to Crawford? I did a search and came up with lots of information but no website.

I'll try to make a sound clip with my camera if I can figure it out. The biggest difference is when you start up the car, sounds so mean You can definitely tell it's not just the stock exhaust, I can tell you I had someone drive my car and I could hear it 3 blocks away...
