150 miles on the new exhaust and smell is almost gone! starting to change sounds a little too, particularly when warm.....and on the highway, WOW! not too loud, but i still announce myself..and with the way my car sits now with the drop, and all black (with my steelies), it looks mean. cant wait until this snow is all gone so i can roll out my 18s again!
intake should be in end of the week, so i'll be curious to see what happens then.
i forget who asked, but still need pics with the stock bumper? i had to buy batteries for teh digicam but i'll go take some if ya want.

i had mine installed at a muffler place because i knew the bolts on teh stock exhuast were really bad and i dont have air tools and it was like 20 degrees out. cost me 125 (i know i got ripped off, but whatever, i only paid 300 new for teh kit)
when its hung, on top of each muffler is a strap with 4 holes. it mounts right to the factory bumper. ther only used the top hole or the strap on the bottom bolt on mine because any higher would rub the bumper (and they said it would melt it). so...when i got home, i trimmed the bumper, and with a littler persuasios, i got it not to the second hole but to the third hole on the bottom bolt (and the first hole was at the top bolt). it literally site right against the metal part of the inside of the bumper, but thanks to my trimming, the bumper cover is fine. this way i dont drag on the driveway (it was almost a 2" difference)
as far as the kit itself, pretty easy with the included hardware, once you can get the stock stuff off. i had askled for it welded but they thought i might later want to re-sell it so instead they used double gaskets to prevent leaks. it basicaly just clamps together with 14mm u-bolts everywhere (you'll need deepwel) ....oh and the bumper will need 13mm deepwell.
i got a deal on mine for 300 in the classifieds, but they can be ordered new for 399 with free shipping from karo www.carcustoms.net or 399+shipping (25-50) directly from RK Sport. i have seen used kits as low as 125 before.

thanx...just keep in mind, like i said.....they used the top hole on teh strap on the bottom bolt....i had to move it up so that the top hole is on the top bolt which places the third hole on the bottom bolt.....and it sita against the metal part of the bumper....and it was a pain to do it that way (had to partially disassemble it and use a floor jack to raise parts)
