Alright so the install was pain in the a$$. It took me and a friend about 5 hours to do it with some very basic tools and small jack stands, install time would have been much shorter had we been better equipped. The bolts on the top of the cats are ridiculously hard to remove, we snapped an extension in the process and also one of the bolts. I recommend using PB Blaster and WD-40, those seemed to loosen the bolts up a little, I found this out after I broke my tools though
Verdict:
These are awesome. The car certainly feels stronger and the sound is absolutely amazing. It is definitely on the loud side and in the cabin I'm getting some serious vibration from the hatch at 2000 and 4000 rpms. Another awesome feature is that I didn't get a CEL, I don't know why it hasn't popped up but so far so good. I'm drag racing tomorrow night at Firebird Raceway so we'll see what kind of improvements these pipes produce.
Here's a few pics of the install, it was tough to get a good shot of the new pipes because I had very little room underneath the car.
