A longtime friend of mine here in Atlanta who owns a shop called Extreme Performance Mufflers did the work for me. He custom fabbed my system with 2.25" piping all the way from the catalytic converters back and installed a Magnaflow X pipe.
He cut the ends off the cats to match the 2.25" diameter of the piping instead of the factory diameter the ends were reduced to.

The rear tow hooks had to be removed for clearance but all stock hanging points were used, and the tow hook bolt holes were used to hang the rear of the mufflers.
I'm going to have to learn how to do a better job when I wash my car with my new exhaust...
And now on to the video. The most accurate sound will be with headphones or a good speaker system when viewing.

Start up, rev and three takeoff videos.
1st takeoff is light throttle. 2nd takeoff is heavy throttle with unexpected wheelspin and traction control intervening. 3rd takeoff is light throttle to avoid wheelspin progressing to heavy throttle once the car got moving.
I'm very pleased with the outcome. I've never had the car on a dyno so I cannot give a comparison on output. It feels like it accelerates slightly better, but of course now I can hear what the engine is doing more so there is more of a sensation of the car's actual speed. 70-80mph on the highway is nice since the car has pretty short gearing it avoids the lower rpm where with this exhaust there could be some droning. I wanted it louder hence my decision not to install any resonators. Total cost would run around $700.00 parts and labor.
