Too late now to get my $2000.00 back but am I really left to use a set if $1.00 washers to actually hear my car?

My daily driver is a WRX that I put a factory SPT exhaust system on (Subaru's performance parts line) and it sounds sweet and was only $950 shipped to my house.

I came from a 1990 supercharged Ford Mustang that was loud so I guess I was spoiled.....

Sorry to hear about your disappointing experience. If an aggressive sound is what you're seeking, the Motordyne Shockwave is the way to go. I purchased one recently and, paired with my Berk HFCs, the sound is positively intoxicating. As far as price goes, I paid less than 2k for mine. As someone suggested perhaps you can sell the nismo system and upgrade. Obviously paying for another install sucks but you might as well have something you're going to be happy with

Another option you might consider is to add the GT Haus Meisterschaft axle-back.

Two days ago I installed one to go with my nismo exhaust and Berk HFC's. This is my forth exhaust variation and I believe I am now happy.

They come up used now and then for about $1K.
