Hopefully my Go Pro camera can pick up the sound of the dump and exhaust together. Kind of scared to mount the camera to the outside of the vehicle, although the suction cup it has seems pretty strong.

Right now the open dump sounds nasty.

Car still running strong. Getting decent gas mileage when I'm not stepping on it.

Update on page 1. Exhaust and gauges. Tried to get video of exhaust but sound quality was off. Will try again tomorrow.

Do I spot a little burn/residue on the bumper. Perhaps the exhaust is but a small fraction to short? I would recommend you getting an exhaust port cover, maybe a Carbon Fiber one off of Ebay or something.

Car is really dirty at the moment. I think my bumper will be fine.

That looks like a mark only produced by hot exhaust gases, but ok, I won't linger on it if you are not concerned about it.

i agree, they should make it a tad longer and a 'lil more straight next time..other than that, ur setup looks good. looking forward for vids of the car rolling.

I have the GoPro and I installed it on the exterior of my car many times even upwards of 120+mph. It WILL stay! Trust me. As long as the suction cup is clean as well as the surface your sticking it to, it won't come off. That suction cup will even pull out body dents! The audio sucks though. I'm getting the HD soon.

I wish they extended the exhaust tip. The way it is now, it will eventually toast your bumper.

1 question...
Have you seen one in person or do you have any first hand experience with one of these system?

For everyones knowledge this system has been tested for months prior to going into production. Just like all the other DESCENDANT products.

A great example would be the Scion tC owned by MrBurrito who is a SCIONLIFE member that has had the system installed on his 300+WHP tC for several months now with NO ISSUES...NO TOASTED BUMPER.

Take it from someone who has actually seen, touched & owned and a 3" exhaust system.

no disrespect but you can already see discoloration of the bumper. I have seen enough exhaust set ups including my Greddy which sits just as far in, to know that the bumper will eventually peel overtime.

I don't have experience with the Descendant 3in setup, I'm just going by the pics. The discoloration looks like the common heat transfer from the exhaust system. That's just my observation. At the same time, slight installation differences may cause shortage when it's all bolted up. So, it could be always be an installation issue rather than a design one.
