Tony, add me as installed to the list. Could have gone smoother but getting the stock exhaust proved to be a pain in the ***. There was one bolt that just would not budge. The sound of the exhaust was worth it in the end. Love the sound and even under nml driving I can feel there is some extra power. Have only done 2 hot/cold cycles so I haven't opened it up just yet.

Question though, I noticed after I got back from my drive that the passenger side exhaust tip sticks out past the bumper about 1cm where as the driver side tip is even with the bumper. When the car is cooled down the both recess a little which I understand is nml. Just wondering if there is a way to adj. the tips so they are even. I can post a pic if it would help. thanks

So I take it we are talking about a very minimal amount. Honestly if it as small as you say it is than I will chalk it up to shrinkage in the build process. One slighty shrinking more than the other is not common but it is possible. At this point what we can do is add one more 3 bolt gasket to the back on the driver side. That should bring it out just enough. Call me in the morning and I will get one on the way...

Thanks, Tony
