The factory back section looks good, but I kind of wish the tips stuck out more than they do. The top of the tips are about flush with the bumper. I don't think they can stick out any more since they aligned it with the exhaust hangers.
Otherwise it's nice so far. It's pretty smelly since it's still new, but that's going away. The sound is a little deeper, no burbles that I can hear in the car. No drone at all. Not much louder. Some raspiness once you get above 2.5k rpms. I don't think mufflers need break-in time, so it is what it is I suppose.
All and all it's a good subtle upgrade, but I'm expecting the biggest change when I get my car tuned by RMW! I don't see myself getting the front muffler since its already so quiet and I don't think I'll be needing the larger resonator. If anything I'll get a downpipe later and perhaps have the front cat removed.

haven't heard one yet. :(
I think it should get a little louder with time, my stock one is certainly louder and deeper than what i remember at pick up. I'm thinking of getting the front section just to rid the 2nd cat. No welds in case I need to put it back for the sniffer in a few years. But i hear they're changing things and going straight to the ODBC instead of the roller and tailpipe stick.
I've priced around and a good exhaust from the aftermarket would cost a little less as getting the front and back sections. My friend has a custom magnaflow w/ a 5" resonator and it drones 2900-3200, so decided against going custom. The RMW will be after i get back from vacation.

I'm still waiting for that flash loaded from RMW since I have an oil change coming up and my annual service a few months later. Dunno how strict Assael is with tunes.
