Nothing yet. I'm driving to LA this weekend with my son for college interviews. Plus it hasn't stopped raining. I should have bought a snorkel kit instead :(

The total came out to $1109 between the cost, shipping and then a US duty, taxes and fees that I didn't realize. That wasn't covered by the cost (they did state that upfront)

any update?

If everything goes according to plan I'll have it at the shop for install next Thursday.

Its a supersprint exhaust so it should sound pretty good. I am sure once he has had the chance to install the OP will come back and post some reflections on the system.

FINALLY have it installed. I have been so swamped with work and colleges that I haven't even logged on here in weeks.
Sounds great so far, definitely lower rumble. Can hear it in the car. Most notable at 1500rpm under load. Idle is pretty silent inside. Need to put some seat time on the highway to check for droning.
Installation issues: the passenger side went in easily. The drivers side was not aligned with the valance opening. It was pushed up and out. My shop had to heat and bend the pipe slightly to get it aligned.
The flanges are a solid thick flange rather than the stock type. Could not use the stock springs or bolts. Went with a solid bolt for now.
Will post pics and video of before and after soon.

I also had the same problems. In the highway is not loud at all. I made another threat about my install check it out. I do need to post a longer video
