nice! glad you finally got it on and glad you love it. it will sound different after a few long drives and your ti tip will turn into funky purple blue colors. my whole tip has turned purple blue already!

I do love the sound of that exahust. But I'm one of those "weird" guys that things the 8 looks like poo with a single exhaust.

dubbx,
when I wrote about the 'passenger's side' I said it bends even more. so, what I mean, is that driver's side has better flow. in the end, we are saying the same thing

I like it more coming out from the passenger's side, just for looks. that's my personal opinion, that's all

guys, the difference in flow for that much of a bend at that size tube and the output of this engine is irrelevant

The install went very nicely. Only bloodied one knuckle on one of the hangers.
I love the way this system sounds and I would recommend the HKS to anyone who wants a single pipe kit.
Quality,, Quality,, Quality!

Is this the look of the final product?

Is the adjustable tip more of an add-on, or is it necessary? I'm just curious if the adjustable tip even needs to be put on and if it will extend out far enough in the exhaust cutout without the adjustable tip. Personally not a big fan of the tip since the whole thing eventually turns blue.

Once the exhaust shroud is put back on, the finished product will look something like this:
