Paul,

Here it is, I didn't adjust for brightness, I'll leave that up to you.

The changes that we STILL have to make...

-Far too much clearance over the axle back, will be 1" higher than shown. The hangers won't be affected, only the bends.
-Muffler is too far to the right, will be 1" to the left to help center it out.
-Hardware will be included as the OEM spring-bolts aren't able to be used cause they're too short.

S-Pipe issues..

-Good news, doesn't cause CEL.
-That flange just has to go, it will be a flat flange from here on in.
Here are some pics

For the price id say you can't beat this exhaust with a stick.
I said for the price its a very good deal "you cant beat it with a stick"

oh ok sorry lol . i never heard that before.

i heard that you lose low-end torque with the megan exhaust, and only gain a little bit of high end power. did you lose low-end torque?

Didn't notice any real loss, These type of mods on a 4cyl car are very minor... Now the ZPI turbo kit made a big difference in power

So can anyone confirm this, for those who have bought it?

I think I am getting it from c2auto.com, but wanted to make sure...I guess I can ask them, but I wanted to know from the users.

thanks
