Squishband do you have it on the car right now? I have been considering buying one recently but would really like to hear it in person. From the picture I am assuming it is not on the car though. What midpipe are you running and what exhaust did you switch to?
Exactly how many miles are on it? I know it is not made for an 09+ but it will fit with the right hangers.

Thank for the exhaust Squishband. Installed it today and it sounds AMAZING but of course it is very loud like everyone says. If it was only a bit quieter it would be the perfect exhaust but I think I can deal with it as-is.

I think it is louder.I will try and make it to a meet sometime and you can hear it if you are there, but it is definitely very loud to me at least. It got rid of the loud resonance or rasp at 4k rpms only so I'm happy about that at least. The car still gets louder at 4k rpms but it doesn't just suddenly get loud then go quiet like it did before.
My fuel trims still make it up to +14-16 eventually, I have no clue whats going on. I have tried to look for a vac leak when the car is cold or warm, I have tried to move things around in the engine bay(like the accordion tube) to see if there is a break in it but no luck. From what I have read it could be caused by having no cat on the car or an exhaust leak but I'm not sure because I read that on another forum.

Xexok, glad you to hear you got it bolted on and it cut back the rasp. I liked the sound (braaap), just didn't need the extra attention that went along with it. Just wait till someone pulls up along side to tell you, "There is FIRE coming out your exaust"... OMG, no way, really!!! LOL.

we do, i've seen you down by dean martin and cactus a few times, haven't seen your car that way lately though.
I don't always drive Kasumi and I leave at a different time almost everyday. I actually live right off of Southern Highlands Parkway right around where it meets Valley View... It's just a straight line to take Dean Martin down to Starr and just cut back over. Good to know you're in the neighborhood 
Good Morning
Been very busy. Actually still very busy but I am taking time to remind you all of "what happens in Vegas 6". The dates have been set May 17,18,19 but the itinerary is still up for discussion. As every year, we do need some helpers, sponsors, and lots of attendees. If you are interested in helping, let me or Ray (13X) know. If you can help with sponsors, let us know and if you are interested in attending the event, sign up.
We will be having a meeting soon for the helpers where we can iron out the itinerary. Ray or I will post a day/time for the meeting.

Jeez I hate to have two posts in a row.................We are looking for members whom are willing to give of a few hours to insure that the attendees of WHiV6 have a good time. We will not ask much of you just some of your help. There will be a meet next Friday (March 1) evening at Sammy's wood fire pizza, 6400 West Sahara, at 7:30 pm. If my 8 is running it will be there other wise my truck will carry me.

Got my carbon exhaust gasket from raceroots today. Installed and it made the exhaust much much quieter. I must have had a decently bad leak with the stock gasket because there is a very noticeable difference now. Not sure if I am still louder than your car Anthony but I will try to make it out to the next meet so we can see. Had to work late the last 2 thursdays.

If he didn't provide a name or an email then why would he put his phone number on there?
Do you know if he works at the airport or possibly goes there often? That is a mccaran airport IP so if they have wifi it could have been done by anyone. IP Address: 199.36.244.11
