Default Skunk2 Mega Power R 70mm exhaust

Installation wasn't too bad. The hardest part was just removing the stock exhaust. The bolts from the cat are on there VERY tight. I put the wrench on each one then went around the car and pushed on it with my leg to break them off. Wasn't able to remove those bolts from the flange on the cat though. A friend of mine managed to get them off on his car, but he had the car up on a lift and used a hammer. I wound up just leaving them and tightening the nuts down as much as I could. So far so good.

The exhaust looks great and sounds awesome. Especially in tunnels!

It's loud as hell though, so if you live in an area like Virginia Beach where I am, there is a good chance you will get a ticket. I've been pulled over once but got a warning. It comes with a silencer..so far I haven't put it in there, so I'm not sure how effective it is.

edit...my only complaint is that one of the hangers seems to be a bit long and is hitting something. When I'm idling at a stop, I can sometimes hear a small rattle coming from down there. I read a post on another forum of someone with the same problem and they wound up going down there and cutting some of it off because it was causing metal to be exposed and was either starting to rust, or would start had he not sealed it back up.
