1) Sound clips are deceiving!

2) This combination is Loud (with a capital 'L') when you get on it!

3) Just cruising, the interior sound may be slightly louder than the Flowmasters by themselves but by no means annoying.

4) This, in my opinion, is the classic muscle car sound to a T

5) Depending on which way the wind is blowing, you WILL smell exhaust fumes while at a stand still. I haven't decided if this is annoying yet, I have to do more driving with the windows down. However, I DO know my fiancé will hate it. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon24.gif[/img]

6) The seat 'o the pants meter says I have indeed picked up some power in the upper RPMs.

7) I don't feel that I have lost any power down low as others have noted.

Overall, I am enjoying it. Even if you buy it only to find out you don't like it, for $180, you just can't pass that up.

Here is a short clip with 2 quick revs Pypes o/r h-pipe and flowmasters

ps. I know my drivers side muffler is a bit out of wack, I'll fix that when I feel like getting back under my car. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Just some additional advice about this pipe.......... you may want to get it welded at the H-joint. I did after I realized that no matter how tight I tightened the clamp, I still had a small exhaust leak. Cost me $10 to have it welded.

Who did you have weld the 2 pipes together? Did they have to drop everything or did they do the welding while everything was connected?

I had it welded at a tire/muffler shop. I removed it and took it to them.

I'm in the same boat. I had an O/R H and Flows on my 02 GT and loved the sound.

Having had both an X and H with my FLOWS. I like the way the X sounded. It was louder, but the H is deeper in tone.

Of course I started it without the headers! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] That was the definition of "off-road"

I LOVE my H pipe/Magnaflow combo. I'm even getting used to that "Tinny" sound.
