I could tell I lost low end torque pulling out the exhaust shop parking lot.. but hell with that sound I can't complain!!

Then we have others that are more than willing to loose power just to get a nice sound!
To each their own...

I like the satisfaction guarantee too. But keep in mind that the muffler will get a little louder as it breaks in. At least mine has. Good luck. You're going to love it!

I sure hope so... I had an 18" installed on my stock pipes today and I have to say I'm not impressed at all with the sound. If it gets a little louder from the break in then I might not second guess myself.

Gawd this came out bad. It sounds really mellow and high pitched, it's a VERY low tone and that cackling sounds like backfiring, it sounds unbelieveably loud. Tomorrow I'll put the camera farther back, my neigbors will probably report me if I do it again. The audio messed up while revving up, you notice it when it starts to idle, it sounds a lot deeper than when I was revving it...wierd isn't it. I wish it capture the sound better, the cackling and the loudness was surprisingly loud this time.
