Pypes mid muffler installed :)
Well, after a total of 5-6 hours of install time, they are in! The sound at idle is about 2-3 steps up, and it purrs realll nice when you give it some gas.
I have some pics/video soon, I'll post them up as soon as I can. The install was annoying with 4 jack stands and 1 jack... would be MUCH easier with a hoist, would save 2hours + and a lot of stress. You have to lift the rear up on the frame andnot the axle, this isto get out the over axle peice (stock)
Quality of the peices were great,the driver rear over axle peice was a lil bit of a bugger to snugg together, however this could largely be due to not having a hoist and crawling on my back.
Over all im very pleased with the sound of the system, Im calling the insurance company tomorrow to put it on the road so I can get some drive by clips. Very happy with my purchace, $285 shipped = a great bang for buck if you ask me, and it sounds great with out being annoyingly loud.
Its loud enough to turn heads, but not enough to annoy your neighbours. I can honestly say im happy with the set

RE: Pypes mid muffler installed :)
On the drivers side, i had to push up on the muffler delete pipe at the connection while tightening it to get enough clearance between the pipe and panhard bar brace. It also helped lower the tip which was almost touching the bumper on that side. If you don't push up on it while tightening the clamp it will spin on you and be close enough to the brace to hit it on large bumps.
I thought the whole kit fit together very well. I ended up bending the passenger side hanger in the middle to raise the tip up some, but other than that it was easy. I used ramps and jack stands + had my floor jack raised up on 2x8's to get enough lift in the back. You have both ends off the ground to get the stock pipes out.

Where did you order the exhaust? And how is the sound in the car? Alot of drone?

Thats good. I would think it would be bad because the mufflers are kinda right underneath you. I dunno if that would make a difference.

I found this video when I was uploading mine. He has a bit more than the pypes though.
