FRPP Exhaust is on!
Just installed my duals. The install took about 3 hours with two people doing it. It was a pretty easy and straightforward install. The kit comes with everything you need. The instructions are kind of off though. You do not need to tap a hole for the left muffler. I highly recommend the use of a lift for this install.
The hardest part of the install was muscling the x-pipe in where we sawed the y-pipe off. The left muffler sagged a bit, that's because the hanger part touched the back of the frame of the car, that can be solved by sawing off about 1/2 an inch from the tip of the hanger, and then bending it downward a little so that the muffler tip is in the center of the gt bumper hole (hard to explain, but when you see it, it's obvious that the muffler hanger is a bit too long).
The car seriously sounds like a small v8 engine. I love it. There is a small drone at idle, but I think it's because the exhaust hasn't had time to break in yet. I think it'll solve itself after a couple hundred miles.
That's the x-pipe that replaces the Y-pipe
It looks a bit off, but that's because the car's at an angle.

Congrads! you'll love it!
I have the ford racing stingers setup on mine with hpipe. I drove 400 miles to my moms and back over the last couple of days, I have to admit.. I hate the drone at 65 mph and up, it will make everyone in the car sick! Im either gonna have to solve this or off the stingers go.
