haha,
thats pretty darn funny... You have made made up my mind which exhaust to go with when I get one. Hopefully within the next two months, I can't wait!! Thanks for taking the time to get all the recordings etc! I actually did the same sort of thing on my last car. I had a helmet cam wire running out the sunroof which was tilted up. 10min into the drive I decided to open my sunroof. OOPS...

I installed my exhaust yeterday and thanks to all the tips I got from reading this thread it was real easy. My only question is about where the end of the tail pipe hangs. It seems to hang lower than the stocker and i can grab it buy hand and pull it up or push it down pretty easy. It seems to be moving in the hangers. Is how it is for you guys? Any suggestions how to keep the tail pipe up?

Is the dual hanger in front of your rear axle seem higher than the one at the back of the rear spring? Did you use a muffler?

make sure it is moving at the hangers and not rotating in the muffler connection. mine was not pushed in far enough and was moving all over the place. i re installed the tailpipe and tightened the clamp up good and now it doesnt move at all
