My friend has it but I've barely had a chance to listen to it. It didn't seem that loud unless you got on it, not to bad I guess. His is hanging loose though it smacks his car when he hits bumps. He needs another hanger probably.

its an axle back only, and that muffler looks like it isnt really for gains, more for sound.... but ya, all axle backs will only get you about 5hp MAX...if i were you i would go with a MEGAN RACING cat back, only 289.00 at upscaleautos.com

You can either add another hanger or stiffen the rubber so it wont bounce up.

the megan will delete your midpipe therefore you wont have your 2nd cat. so its illegal + its loud as hell as it is.

just decide first what you want to do and the risk that you want to take, also sounds you can live with.

by delete i meant, your stock midpipe would be replaced by megan which has a resonator and no cat.
