cmarshack: When you took it to the shop, what exactly did you tell them to do? I live in a small town and i want to be clear on what i want them to do so that they won't mess it up.
I took pics of the one that PearlPower did and then talked it over with them about what I wanted to do. They are a very good shop and knew what could and could not be done.

Sometimes digital cameras have a video feature (w/sound) that might allow this. I did this with my exhaust and loaded the videos up to youtube.

I tried it and it sounds nothing like what it sounds like in person...so basically pointless.

None ever really do, but I end up doing them anyways. I've tried them in the 1/4 mile from the observer's point of view, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKjREZMauNA

My own point of view on the highway, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iStkeBfSb10 (that one I like)

My own point of view on the track, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSYwjEO19bg

And even right behind the vehicle, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNk_faufOck

Can't say any of them are truly close to what is really heard, even the 1/4 mile observer, but it's better than nothing.

Click the link in my sig, go to the GX page and the video of mine is there. Still does not sound as good as in person but you get the idea.

Sounds great to me! I don't think it's too loud. How is it on the inside. Lets say around town driving and freeway. You have the Magnaflow and took out the one silentcer on the stock side. ANd that's it. My E55 with magnaflow and resonator delete sounds way louder. Maybe with this sound clip I could convince my wife

that looks perfect! they did a great job. did they use SS or aluminum piping? I want to do the same but cant find anyone in IL that uses SS and can mandrel bend. they all used aluminum pipes and that wont last with the winters in IL. I can get the full set up....Mid pipe, rear, magnaflow mufflers, and tips for 600 and thats a steal for a full set up but I fear that it wont hold up more then 2 years.
