Installed the midpipe and x-pipe tonight and I'm a little disappointing with the fitment. The midpipe bends too soon and goes under the trans mount instead of around/behind it, causing the ground clearance to decrease an inch or two (guarantee I'll scrape it quite a few times). Also, ignore the welds on the drivers side midpipe at the headers; had my wideband bung installed, but they didn't realize the flange was behind the bung, so they had to cut the pipe twice to move it.

On to the sound... Well, it's loud, absurdly loud. I'll give it some time and see if I warm up to it after more driving.
