Okay, well I finally got it freaking installed!!!!

I was very skeptic at first of ever getting an exhaust because I never wanted anything raspy, in all honesty I wanted nice and not too loud but with a deep grumble like the Cobras get with many of their exhaust systems. Needless to say, this exhaust gave me exactly what I wanted!

Granted this wasn't made specifically for the redline...yet...it was easy to modify it, which they should come ready for a straight install for everyone else. The guy who did my install is awesome with cars and welds a lot too. So after getting all the exhaust hung, he marked where a bracket needed to be moved to and once all the welding was done, ten minutes later it was all in there and ready to roll. After getting the car jacked up and on four jack stands, it took maybe an hour for everything, even the modifying of the bracket.

Before getting the car down, start it to check for any leaks. I had none, but just so everyone remembers to do it.

The exhaust had a really nice quality to it and the tip honestly, even though it is bigger, you can't really tell from walking around the car that it is an aftermarket exhaust system....until start up!

Cruising the db didn't rise too much. Anywhere between 2-3000 rpm with cruise control set it rides rather quietly. There was never any raspy sound at all to it either. it has a really really nice deep growl. The guy that installed it loves the exhaust and loves the car. He thought it was one of the coolest things ever and that he would get in trouble with this thing. (I let him take the test drive after the install)

The exhaust definitely opens up the top end a lot more, and keeps the bottom end feeling torquey (which I love). Occasionally after getting into it a little bit and letting off the throttle it will give the little bogging down sound like many hear on SRT 4s, but still no raspy noises.

WE WANT SOUND CLIPS!!

This size is really what I've been looking for. Also, I thought that cobalt systems needed to be lengthened to fit our cars. Did you have to do that?

More than likely...my camera can roll around so I can shoot something in front or behind my phone, just hit a button and it flips the image so it isn't upside down, but when that happens the picture is backwards I think.


EDIT: Watched the video on my phone...it shot it backwards...

Can other people hear it? If so, you may need to turn the volume up.
