Glad you like it! I installed mine 2 weeks after I bought my car. The best part is I have had mine on for around a year and since the tip lines up with the bumper properly my rear bumper is still in pristine condition (and my car is white so it would have shown up fast.) Love the sound too nice and deep.

I love the way it exits too! slightly angled, but not shooting the exhaust gases on the bumper. and it also does not hang too low like some exhausts.

had to write that, because i am still very happy with it :D

are there any bottlenecks or is it 3 inch through out?
I am interested on this exhaust but would like it to be 3 inch all the way.

apexi says it goes from 70mm-75-85mm and then exits out through 115mm tip

man i just noticed i have a dime size scrap on the tip of my exhaust it looks like it hit the side of the bumper but theres no way that couldve happened, the exhaust doesnt move around that much unless it was kicked??* :?

the X is where the scrape is and the circle is where it hit the bumper and took a good chunk out of it :x

was the bumper melted? when i had my megan racing exhaust, it hit the bumper a couple of times and melted it.

The exhaust will move around when you go over bumps and turns. That's probably what caused it to melt slightly. Most angled muffler exhausts will contact the bumper eventually from what I've seen.

no its not melted it looks like it came in contact with the the corner and scraped the paint and the tip

Trust me, when your car hits bumps, it generates a lot more force then your hands ever could. Your whole exhaust pivots about the o2 housing.

When I saw it in Person, I was also surprised that it looks very similar to Helix. ;) ;) ;)

the tip's not as long as the Helix though. (Length between the canister and end of the tip). I used to have a GT Spec on my 240sx (3.74") and it was rediculously loud on the stock 240 motor, but once the skyline motor went in, it was super quiet and rumbled. I loved it). If I did'nt get a Helix, I would've gotten that.

BUMP for updates from anyone with this exhaust.

70mm-75-85mm << is this pipe combo restricting in anyway.....

also is the greddy ti that much louder than this exhaust..or about the same.

thanks
