Main reason was because it rattled/vibrated against the bottom edge of the bumper screwing up the paint a little bit. The sound the vibrating made was also really annoying at stop signs and red lights. Other than that I just wanted a change and to be quieter.

can anybody else post up another video of the exhaust sound? so the consensus now is that there is some drone?

did anybody notice a MPG increase? I could care less about the HP increase if any, I'm just trying to squeeze every last MPG out of this box.

Just curious how loud this is with a header? I'm considering going I/H/E...but with this exhaust there would be NO cats...which is usually horribly loud. I would probably leave the scuba on...
