Aside from the great looking pipes, I think the S197 rear is far cleaner looking than the upcoming 2010 which looks fat bloated and too narrow and high. Not to mention the unattractive black lip. The ruining of the rear is not offset by the "hips". jmo

From what I've seen, I agree with you. More is not more.
For the record, I think the GT/CS rear-end is the best looking butt out there.

Thanks for this tip. Not to hijack the thread, but I'm wondering what install procedure is the best. Is it the approach that Taco Bill used to install his stingers? I think I've also seen the install sheet for Corsas, and they recommend that one only remove the hangers closest to the bumper and leave the others in place. Any other suggestions, as I am planning to finally do this soon.

I didn't read Taco Bill's writeup but I came to the same conclusion. I just left the bolts loose on the front hangers until I had the muffler slipped over the midpipe.
