In case anyone misses the point that this is not a street-legal cat-back system, be sure to read the small print:
"This pipe eliminates the catalytic converter. As such, this pipe is sold only for off-road or racing purposes."
It'll void your warranty. Does sound nice though...

Getting a Greddy
Yup. Saw it in person today. I like it! Good thing tomorrow is payday! :D And the installer is 2 blocks from work. Even better. Plus the guy is giving me a great price on the unit. I like the oval shaped tips and the slight angle cut on the side. I hope it sounds as nice as the HKS did. SHould be quiter than the video posted since I wont be removing the cat anytime soon.
Thanks Alex! If anybody needs to buy a hard to find exhaust, just let Alex find one for him and buy it when he lets you know about it :D

Doh!

oh well call me when it's getting put in! I'm sure Armando will be running over too. We'll get the video clip, and this time give you the Memory Stick so it can actually be posted

Welp, I got it! Weee!
First impressions, the tips are pretty big once on the car. I do like the shape on them, they are just a triffle large. Sound however, is MUCH improved. Sounds very similar to the HKS, although it's got a slightly deeper rumble when idle or low throttle. Closed windows it's barely there until you hit it. With the windows open it's a little more noticeable. It's nowhere NEAR as loud as the previous greddy clip posted that had the test pipe as well. I only have my film camera handy and I snapped some pics. Soon as I find my digi cam I'll get some more :D
So hopefully finally this weekend we'll get the new HKS and Greddy clips up.

Congrats Yuri, The exhaust looks GREAT, the tips are huge!
It is a bit louder than the HKS, and not quite as deep. That said, it still sounds great! Not at all Raspy or annoying, and yes the butt dyno feels a difference. Get those pics up soon :D

Pics I took at instal where with a reg camera. I am borrwing the in-laws digicam tomorrow tog et some pics up then as I still have way too many pics on the roll to just develope it for 3 pics :D
After I saw Alex I promptly cruised on the turnpike for 40 miles and at cruising speed (85MPH) it is barely there. You CAN hear a slightly louder rumble if the stereo is off, but any music drowns it out so it isnt anoying. You can also feel the grumble a little more in the pedals. All in all I am VERY happy with it. I felt like maybe there was some extra power there, but it was very slight IMHO. I would beleive 8-9HP as vivid stated.

Gecko: Thats with a testpipe though. The plain catback is not as loud. As soon as the damn batteries finish charging, I'll post the vid clip. Here's some pics in the meantime...

Addition! Sound is at

Practically pitch black outside vid clip (no one to hold camera so it's on the ground) in MP4 (prolly need quicktime to play it, can do something more compatible tomorrow) is at
http://www.cisgroupintl.com/yuri/dark.MP4
You can hear my radar beep when I start the car and thats inside the car above my dash. So you can tell it's NOT that loud. The camera is laying all of 2 feet from the exhaust, but on the side, not directly behind the car.
