youll notice a difference in the sound... it will be alot deeper... Not really in performance at all unless you hane other mods and your engine needed to breath better

honestly didnt really feel it, because you will loose some low end torque.

i did my full exhaust at one time and i really couldnt feel a difference. i think if you had a lot of mods and stock exhaust and then you did a new exhaust set up, it would be more noticeable.
