Thanks I had it installed today, just had them cut out a section of pipe and weld it in. 30 bucks so I'm in for 92.50.
Sounds nice to me I'm afraid it may sound ricey at 2500 and up but if I remember right the tone settles a bit after some time and miles. I'm happy with my choice, it does seem to have added a bit of torque (just a little bit not much) and I'm hopping that I at least maintain my MPG though a boost would be welcome.

Here's a clip of mine a different angle from Redneckjeep on a similar setup.
Ok, so it was dark and my son was there, them my sister drove by and honked... but you still get a clear ear on the sound.

Redneck, You say you can feel the power, did you have an intake or chip? Just collecting info, and I know not to expect a huge difference. I want speed I'll drive my other car.

Nope. No intake or chip. I do have the Afe drop in filter now, but I did not at the time of the exhaust install. I still felt the power increase.

No, but I am thinking about a programmer. Probably not gonna do it, but I'm thinkin about it. I am gonna stay away from the CAI and stick with my drop in filter.

Same but I have a K&N drop in and a 2dr. Results seem to be about the same as Red described.

What? The guy at the shop said it'd help me settle in for nap time.
Yeah, I thought I'd be OK for a few days till I decided what I wanted to do. Wasn't sure I'd like the sound and so forth. I'll get a tail pipe on this puppy.

Amazingly, I got it right the first time. Sound absorption comes from a muffler's length, not it's diameter. At least for round mufflers. There was no need for the 6" and I knew if I went that way, I would be close to the evap canister. They way it is now, I have plenty of room. I've had this on for several thousand miles now. If it was gonna melt somethin, it wouldda done it.
