Have you tried to get in touch with JDMhub.com? I got mine from them a month ago. It took less than a week b/w the time I bought it and the time I received it.

i just got mine from jdmhub and installed it yeterday myself. what a PITA to cut and drill thru the studs from the CAT as well as to snake the muffler section through the rear axle/subframe.
@K20z1_rsx, I am hearing rattling in my car. Did you have similar experience on yours? Also, I assume you kept the two cross bars; and if so, did you have to add spacers to gain more clearance to prevent rattling and/or using hose/exhaust clamps?

I used a piece of metal strapping wrapped around the exhaust and attached to the rear most crossmember and some hi temp exhaust wrap.it kind of puts you in the ideal of a drive shaft loop retainer for rear wheel drive cars.all the rattle was gone after that just make sure your lined up going over the rear end before you clamp it down.Originally Posted by Skorp1on

thanks. so you think the rattling is most likely coming from the small gap between the exhaust pipe and rear axle cross member. let me try to get something similar to what you did to see if it goes away. Originally Posted by cjandura

another thing I noticed is that the hanger for the resonator extends quite far past the rubber part...so when starting/driving, the tip of the resonator piping might be banging against the car's chasis...looks like i gott do adjustment too.

I used some washers to get some clearance on the rear most cross bar then I used exhaust wrap and a large hose clamp to go around the exhaust and the rear most cross bar to keep the exhaust from raddling around in the small hole the exhaust goes over the rear axle. I also replaced the rubber hangers on the muffler with new urethane hanger from autozone to keep the exhaust from moving so much. I had to adjust the exhaust about a month after installed it by readjusting it at the rear exhaust flange since then it hasn't raddled a bit.Originally Posted by Skorp1on

Cool...thanks for the reply. I adjusted the pipe yesterday without any wraps, hose clamps, or washers on any of the cross bars...so far, the rattling went away. The pipe looked really close to some of the heatshields and i just bent them back a bit. Soon i think i might go ahead and replace all the rubbber hangers. Originally Posted by K20z1_rsx

The megan system is nice but a liitle bit on the the noisy side...
