We will be doing sound and audio.... the dyno will have to wait until we get a chance to. Our time schedule, with his is going to be hard even to get these babies installed let alone dyno... but have no fear we WILL get dyno comparisons.

Okay, Jeff had some unfortunate body work come up thanks to a moronic southeastern PA driver giving the back of his car a tap. So we're going to have to do the test fit probably next week or so. They should be here for pictures by that time, next week.

Hey Derek, someone rear-ended my car, what the heck am I suppose to do They wrecked my bumper, the left Borla exhaust, and the driver's side arch pipe (the one that goes over the axle). It goes in Monday 2 get fixed, and will be done in a few days (my dealer's shop is making it a priority). As soon as its done, I will be on the phone with CR ASAP. I didn't plan on this happening, okay. I was PI$$ed when it happened, and this was one of the reasons why. I was all set to take it to him this week, once I got his call but couldn't. Please cut me some slack.

Sorry Lou, its going to rain all weekend in PA (Saturday and Sunday). Not good weather here. Plus, my car will only be in the shop a few days. Bumper needs paint, and replace the bumper supports behind.

CR, it was a pleasure to chat with you last evening. And I REALLY appreciate you being patient with me. I was all set to bring my car down, but some dumba$$ decided to add some red paint, and ventilate my rear bumper. Once I get it out of the body shop, I will be on the phone ASAP with you to set up a date.
Looking forward to the results of this!

This H pipe is going to be great. For those that can hold off until the test fit, they WILL be happy! Plus the price is going to be a perk.

It seems all the headers come with X-pipes...What kind of an axleback muffler would you pair with one of these H-pipes? The usual response is that chambered mufflers sound better with H-pipes and straight through mufflers sound better with X-pipes. Does that mean Stingers might not sound that good with this new H-pipe/header combo?

To be honest with you it depends what sound you're looking for. The usual response hears what sounds "good" but can't define what good is.
If you're looking for loud, and love the rumble... you're going to be in love with the long tubes with a 2 chamber muffler and x pipe setup.
If you go to a straight through designed muffler over the chambered it will reduce some of the interior resonance, and the muffler tends to sound more mellow... such as the sexy-ness of the GTA's, Magnaflow, etc.
For the H pipe, it's going to sound more mellow with both. You're still going to have a similar debate between those who like the rumble will probably go with the chambered muffler... however the resonance will be kept to a minimum. For those with the straight-through style mufflers, they'll LOVE the new richened and deeper exhaust note.
You can't go wrong either option!
