I received mine on Tuesday and I am getting ready to install it, I painted the tips and muffler black, I will install it tomorrow if it does not rain...
I have a question though, there was 8 bolts and nuts and 4 gaskets in the package, if I count correctly I will need 12 bolts and nuts and 6 gaskets, am I missing some or should I reuse some from the OEM exhaust ?
Thanks

JoeZ Exhaust installed !
So this morning I installed the JoeZ exhaust, I was planning on a nice step by step with pictures, but I stop taking pictures after 2 photos... (it is too much of a pain by yourself...)
Old school...
The install took me 2h30, the hardest part was to get the right O2 sensor removal tool (I found one at Kragen), you will not be able to remove the O2 sensor without the tool, do not even try, you need the tool...
The O2 sensor
That all for the pics, now with the exhaust installed...
The whole muffler is blacked out so it doesn't shine too much though the exhaust finishers.
The final result is... OMFG... the sound is awesome, the idle sound is very mean, much meaner than the stock one, not too loud, just mean, then there is some whine from 2k to below 4k RPM that sound almost like a turbo, I like it, and then the roar past 4k is just exhilarating...
I will get my friend that has some pro audio recording equipment to try to get a set of very nice sound clips.
I cannot be more happy, easy install, crazy sound, this is a very satisfying mod...
