You can hear it from under the car...kinda makes a "putt-putt-putt" sound when you turn the car off. If you're doing it yourself, I recommend the use of band clamps instead of the U-clamps that come with the kit. You'll need 4 for the mid-pipe connection...or welding it if you have the equipment.
I had to weld mine because the installed C-clamps put indents in the metal, making the band clamps unsuccessful in stopping the leaks.
I really hate working on exhaust...
