Their biggest issue? Getting the car on a lift. It wouldn't go on any of their lifts w/o damage (I'm assuming they're talking about crushing the pinch welds) so they ended up doing it on ramps. He said they spent an hour trying different things before they gave up and ramped it.

First impressions fro the drive home-I did the 18" resonated CBE and resonated cats:
It's loud. I know it will settle in some, but having never heard one in person I was surprised. I've got a drone right at 2100 RPM, but it seems to be going away even after 30 miles. If it doesn't, I'm screwed because it's right at cruising RPM and conversation over it would be impossible. It produces one of those vibrations you feel all through your body.
Now it sounds like a sports car though. And not cheap or ricey - just very clean. It's too cold to drive with the windows down...but I was.
congrats on gettin it installed. as for the bolded part of the quote that drone came in handy the other nite when i was annoyed with the girl in the car with me lol put the windows down and found the sweet spot. conversation was over
