- First Update -
Have put 400km on the new exhaust and while it sounds the same outside, the initial resonance inside has toned down to almost stock levels, I am very pleased with this change, apparently due to the pipes getting "seasoned". Can't see any drop in mileage, but suspect the engine will need another tank of gas to fully adjust.
Still have a bit of an issue with the length of the pipes behind the bumper, not excessively long, but just long enough to make you go "Hmmmmmm", but word has it [from my son - who is into drifting and had a similar setup on his S-14] that due to the way heat is handled by the stainless steel system, the pipes need to be a bit longer so they don't cook the rear bumper opening. He also mentioned that I don't have any tools sharp/good enough to cut stainless steel cleanly - any input would be appreciated in this area

Still a great system, would purchase again, sound turns heads but does get the neighbors dog upset
