MBRP installed
My 304 MPRP 4" turbo-back showed up today and I have to say that the installation was a piece of cake. These guys have done a very nice job of putting these systems together. All of the welded hangers were right where they belonged and removing the factory exhaust was a royal PITA compared to hanging the new MBRP system.
I just took it out for a quick spin and intensionally hit a few dips pretty hard to make sure nothing was going to hit the frame. Hit the highway on the chips 75hp setting and punched it. I had no problem hitting 1250* with the BTM and alway had to back off the throttle before I reached 55. Now, I couldn't get it over 1200* before reaching 70mph. I never thought it would make that much difference.
All in all, I'm very happy with this system. I'll be heading out tomorrow for a quick trip, 300 miles up the road to give it a little more of a workout. Thanks to DPP for the great price and super quick service getting it to me.

remember to re-torque all the clamps again after that 300-mile trip. they expand/contract and get really loose. start at the turbo and work your way back....

Actualy I found that a 9/16 worked on the clamps better than the 14mm, MRBP made in the good ol USA!
EDIT: lovemhot: No welding required but you could weld many of the joints if you wanted.
