One word : Quiet.

Install took under an hour. No fitment issues at all. On the midpipe, there will be the o2 bung. Bolt size is a M18 x 1.5 pitch aka an oil drain plug from your local parts store. Thanks to RIGD's Silver VIII for the plug and help on install.

Performance: It's a tad more responsive. Power transition in between gears is smooth. Did I mention that it is quiet ????! Once I make the 5ft. 7in. cat delete pipe for this exhaust, it should give it a little more bark.

Overall look: Nice and stealthy. Doesn't stick out. It won't attract attention at all, unless you're a knowledgable Evo person and know what type of exhaust it is.

Thanks to Speed Element in Fremont. Hope to do business with yall in the near future.......aka I need a downpipe.

I'm in Suisun. I do drive to Concord alot though, so pm me and we can set something up one day or just drive out to Speed Element and hear it on the shop car.

This is the most quiet aftermarket exhaust I've ever owned. I had a N1 on my 90 GSX then changed it to a thermal. Then, on my 91 GVR4, I had a homemade 3ft shorty exhaust with a turn down tip under the car.

I've been doing alittle driving today and I can already tell that it is alittle more faster than stock. And it's only catback, right now. I can't wait for downpipe!

Thanks for all the feedback. Any other questions or comments...just reply. 8)

Ed,
If you want you can hear it on my car tomorrow night when we meet up for the caravan. You'll also get to hear it at full song at the track. :)
