I would have responded last night but I was driving around until 10pm or so.
Again, I have NEVER delt with an exhaust with this quality. Screw those slip joints on other systems. The entire system is 2-bolt flanges. This means you can take it off as fast as you installed it. The system is NO louder than the Borla inside the cabin. Actually, I think its a touch quieter. I have a sound meter. It didnt cross my mind to use it though. If you want to hear it, go to this link.

The spare tire fits fine. I don't want the weight.
I can certainly tell you one thing... As the PCM adjusted for the new system, the truck revs quicker and pulls NOTICABLY harder. I found myself bouncing the tack to 6K. Ive never had this issue doing controlled holeshots. I have to be MUCH more careful. I passed a car last night in 2nd gear and went 2/3 throttle. Just as I passed the douchbag, the truck started to go side ways. The road was bone dry. Scared the freakin sh!t out of me.
I wont be able to verify real gains until next season when the track opens up.
Caltracs are next. They will be needed.:idea:
Also, I noticed pellets coming out of my OEM cats upon removal. Im not an expert, but I think they were beginning to fail.
Anyways, sorry for the dissertation.
PLEASE contact Southern Hotrod in LA for your best price. This guy's support is amazing. I can email him with a question at 10pm and he responds. THATS SERVICE DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!:rock:
My Borla is on eBay. Its MINT. Bid if you want a cheap cat back solution!
