Very, very happy. It's the sound that was supposed to be there 
I got mine for 273 shipped + install, though honestly, if you can get your car off the ground (some people install without lifting it up, even) then you should be able to do it yourself. It really is bolt-on. I had a muffler place telling me they were going to have to do all kinds of cutting... I told them to look at the existing muffler and they didn't change their tune. I just went to Meineke and it worked out great, but next time I would do it myself

Compared to stock they sound awesome! They are really deep and throaty. I am very happy with them! You wont be disappointed.

Great ,,,,Glad you all are happy with them...I am having a Oil change later and i feel for around $60 there should be no problems for my service station to do......I know I might be able to do it with no problem but we are not talking many dollars in letting someone else doing it...Thanks..JohnnyT

Just a heads up, the clamps suck. I tried installing mine and could not get the tight, or centered. I ended up having Meinke install them with a different clamp, and now they are fine. Great sound.

My question to all of you with new exaust. Preferably Flow Masters. Do you really notice a difference with the low end torque and hp? I see the excel datasheet someone posted and see how much of a difference there is just by changing out the muffler. Do your really FEEL that much of a difference?

I love how these mufflers yield the most gains in hp and tq, my main concern is loudness. How much louder than stock are they? I'm really afraid these will be to quiet and mellow for my taste. Has anyone heard both the Flows and the SLP's in person, if so can you compare?
