I never got one either. I actually received an email with the tracking number for maxurlife's exhaust. I believe I should have mine by Friday.

I just got home from vacation. Had my mail put on hold. Was going to go pick up my exhaust, but looks like Brian is shipping everything. Patience is a virtue my friends, we shall receive it in due time.

How low to is low? Cause my car is dropped pretty low and when I jacked it up my front lip was about less than 1/2" from touching the ground and I have a maxtunning front lip which is pretty big.

My fronts are about the same as yours. They almost tuck as well so I don't see why you can't jack it up. What front lip do you have? Cause if its the stillen front lip then you'll be just fine.

After driving it today, it drives just fine in traffic. At a dead stop, it still gets going like it was before the exhaust. As for the gain, I'm not 100% sure since I have so many mods, it's really hard to tell.

I think once you put it on the freeway you'll really notice the pickup in the dashes between 50-70 mph 70-80 mph or better yet 55-100 mph! Hopefully you'll see some time reductions during overtaking or passing that you never had before! I noticed when I had the entire Cattman exhaust (headers, Hi cat, and Catback) it was like a beast around 80 mph but was too race car like during 4 hrs drives from Texas to Louisiana with that mild roar or drone! If it were just me it wouldn't really bother me but we drive that car as a family and My wife hates the drone! So I'm really curious what 3" catback sounds like inside the car in that 2200-2600 rpm zone? Otherwords please make a video cruising it in the zone please! Pretty please....with a big cherry on top!!!

are you thinking of tuning it at a later date to see what power you can get from it? the car sounds great no matter what gains you do or don't see from it

It took my 3" single exhaust a few days to work with the ECU.

Mine arrived yesterday. I cannot wait to get it on the car. My car is in the shop right now, so I might bring it over and add it to the list of things being installed. Hopefully will get the car dynoed in the next two weeks.

Hey everybody, I'm back from vacation and pleased to see that the headers have been well-received. I haven't seen/heard the off-forum links, but the video/sound in the previous post sounded good. I'm not really fan of sound clips, but you can sure hear the difference between the 2.5" and 3.0"! I'm starting to wish I had one of these systems on my 2002... Thanks to "the Law" and SCMax2000 for taking the time to record and post pics/vids/clips.

Anyway, there's one 3" catback left from this batch, so if you didn't order yet, and like what you see from those who did, give us a call at 800.759.9920 (US except AZ), 888.296.5153 (Canada and AZ) or 520.575.6195, we're open 9-5 MST, M-F.

So worth it. The sound is perfect it's not a heavy drone. I had it installed today. I have two pulls on the dyno showing 211 and 209 whp before the install. I'll have the after pulls done no later than 8/8 - That's right you gotta be patient. I just want the computer to do all that it needs before getting the after test done. I think we'll all be pleased. King James took pics and vids for me so hopefully we'll see those soon. It is REAL FREAKIN NICE. thanks to Cattman and The Law for getting this thing going.

Really glad to hear you're pleased. Even after doing this for 11 years, I've got a certain amount of ego tied up in a new part and its a nice feeling when we get it right.

Sounds like a good dyno strategy, particularly given Deus's comments about his 3" system settling in with the ECU over a few days. Try to choose a day and time that matches as many key factors as possible from the baseline test - same brand/grade of fuel, about the same time of day / temperature / atmospheric pressure. I know I don't need to say this, but also the same dyno machine with the same technician doing the tie-down and test.
