YaY. but sucker is rather loud. I was blowing by a ghey cavalier that was riced out and I was in 3rd and slammed it into 2nd and gunned and wow, bye bye... and I think it mad a bit of a hole, it is fine when I am idle or steady @ 2.5k in like 3rd gear with gas but when I let go of the gas to use engine braking it gets really loud...

So I need to figure out how to order the budget y-pipe because that is what I am gonna go for.

As a temporary fix, you can try using header wrap, to cover the flex section.

hmm, true... good point, but I also have the res leaking too. It does sound great in a way but very throaty and constant, somewhat annoying though, cause you can feel it in the whole car...
