that last video is a stock system isnt it??? its not shiny ..... and also, am I the only one not getting the pop/crack on rack down.... i guess it will soon... ?......
I took the video at night with a bright light, plus it was windy and stuff. Ill get pics later to prove it. PS. it might be because i got oil and prints all over it too.

got mine on, damn that engineer that decided to tack weld the nuts onto the flange where i cant grind them off! had to cut off the studs and burr the hole, hog it out to remove the nut on the front side of the flange. LOVE the sound!!!! it got louder as it heated up, i was very happy..... removal = 4 hrs. Install 5 minutes.

my Forza tuning emblem is on upside down! LOL screw it. $377 shipped, worth the price!

If you were referring to the studs that attach to the header they are seated into the flange. Once you take the cat out you can tap the three bolts out with a hammer. Then use stainless bolts and nuts when you reinstall. Not exactly sure why the engineers did the three like that unless it saves time when assembling the exhaust. They obviously did not look at the trouble it is to take it out if the cat-back is still installed.

i think i got my words crossed on my last post. I had issues removing the springed nuts at the donut gasket flange. I took a grinder to them, which obviously caused come collateral damage (studs) and they were ground off as well. to my dismay I discovered that the nuts on the front side of the flange (faces front of car) were tacked on, thus leaving me wondering how to remove since there wasnt enough of a stud to even grab with a pipe wrench . had to drill small holes to get to where the tack weld was, and then burr the hole out to free it. a big p.i.t.a. in disassembly but the install of new took about 5 minutes.

on a side note... DAMN did it sound nice with no muffler! car feels like it gained quite a bit of power but all it done in this cold weather was spin...

I told u that video was made on a cold start so it makes since. I also love the sound at 3-4k rpms, when crusing it sounds just like an old fc. by the way I also have the damn upside down forza emblem. my install time took 3hrs with clean up. Congrats on the exhaust and have fun.
