I used a pipe wrapped in a shop rag. Stuck it in the muffler and bent it to the desired location while a buddy held the muffler and the hangers in place. Took a little communication, but worked.

I took mine to an exhaust shop and paid them $29 bucks. The heated up the piping right before the muffler and was able to bend it down to make it even with the other.

I had a M2 but upgraded to the HKS HI-Power, the M2 is definetly a good exhaust for the money, the HKS is a whole lot louder but sometimes the loudness isnt all that great. I highly recommed the M2 who wants a nice sounding exhaust and is on a budget.

Couldnt have said it better and i dont like the loudness...I think the HKS sounds better on the 350s that the 250s.....

I finally ordered mine last week. It arrived in 2 days, and my brother and I installed it Christmas afternoon. The install took right at 1 hour from the time we got the tools out until we had it running again. I am pretty pleased with the exhaust. It looks nicer than the stock pipes, and sounds pretty good. Just a little more noise, but still quiet on the highway. I do a lot of highway driving, so I didn't want a bunch of drone. The real noise is from 2-3k RPM. Once you get near 4k, the motor really drowns out the exhaust.

My fitment is a little off, like a lot of people have been saying. It sits just a little bit too far to the left. I haven't done anything to fix it yet though. All in all, I'm pretty pleased for what it costs.
