one thing that you do have to be wary of is that when u install the driver side hanger, the hole you thread the screw thru might not be threaded. i had to tap mine. but when i researched the install on this forum i never saw anything about it so it might have been a problem with just my car. just check b4 the install to be sure

You should be able to bolt it all on without any scrounging. However, you may also find that the clamps in that kit are no good. There's one clamp not included, they think you can re use the existing clamp on the passenger pipe. What you might want to do is go to Napa and get a 2.5" clamp and two 2.25" clamps. If you don't need them, return them, but might be good to have while you install.

Is it worth it? Depends where you're at now and plans down the road. You could put a single GT takeoff on and essentially you're done adding power via the exhaust. Adding the duals is mostly a looks/sound thing on the 6. I had a GT takeoff on for about a year, just added the driver's side and there is no seat of the pants difference, but it does look better!

As for the driver side hanger bolt holes, they're not threaded. All you need to do is slowly run the bolt into the hole and it will thread itself.

These kits are complete. You reuse your existing butt-connect clamp which is reusable. The band clamps that come in the kit work well if they are used correctly. The spacer needs to be placed off center closest to the bolt head. If they are installed incorrect, the center spacer will break or the clamp will not hold.

The sound and performance gain is well worth it!

No this does not void any warranty as it is after the catalytic converters. The vert and coupe mufflers are the same.

pYPES ARE PROBLEMATIC AT BEST.
tHE LOW COST REFLECTS THE QUALITY.
Fricken caps lock...
The fit is horrable and they start leaking almost right away.
They abound on eBay as 'used' being installed for only short
periods of time...

Yes, there is. 157db will most likely chime in on it...I think he has it copy/paste ready.

I could be wrong, but you sort of sound like a vendor or dealer. I don't have a problem with it if you are, but think it should be clear to folks if you are.

Mine had 17K on it and it was a corroded mess.
