The installation was a lot easier than I thought (I hadn't done any DIYs under the car before this, BTW). It helps that the cans are direct bolt on and that the only adjustments needed are for height (left-right clearances come perfect). Even then, there was minimal adjustment necessary. I took my sweet assed time installing the mufflers, as well as swapping out my winter wheels in one sitting. Time spent specifically on the cans were ~45min each side. If you know what you're doing, I'd say 25min each side is doable as a single-man DIY.

Cruising speeds (~60-75mph) sound quieter than stock. This is important for me because I'm not looking for hardcore 100% of the time. I like the fact that I can listen to music / use the BT / etc. at a cabin noise level that's lower than stock when cruising on the highway. TBH, anything ~2300-3000rpm under soft throttle will yield a soft zone. Push it a little more, and you hear the deep notes throughout the range. And after the system's warmed up, the noise gets a little louder, but not obnoxious.

IMHO, the Eisenmann Sport Exhausts are what I'd call a "Gentleman's Exhaust." Loud when you need it to be, civilized when you don't. But the baseline tone always reminds you of what lurks underneath.

I'll take it as a sincere form of flattery.

Post some of your pics on my thread after you've done your install. And your own take on them would also be nice.
