Will do tonight.. Also I think the fitment is perfect. It stays inside the factoy cut-outs and does'nt stick out like the Greddy. I like the way it sits in there,
a cleaner look IMO. If look look at the one semi side shot I took and look at the drives muffler you can se how it looks from the side and what I mean by sits more flush and is not sticking out.

Why? Not disgreeing but I just like to know specifically.
Agreed, that fitment looks really good. I'd love to see an underneath shot of the cattman set up side by side with this one. Are they identical?

More along the lines of that the Cattman b-pipe does not have the crimp in the rear, full Cattman would be "made" to work better together, '07 mufflers=l33t looking compared to 04-06, I want to retain a quiet ride, dual tips>single tips for my preference, AND retain a "sleeper look"
So I guess it's all just my preference if you will.
If we are talking pure power, then * > Cattman b-pipe w/'07 mufflers (*> because of the stock mufflers) since the stock mufflers are more restrictive than after-market "free flowing" mufflers.

it's the magnaflows....... many people swear by them but i hate them, they are all too loud, I mean I've never seen a magnaflow setup with less than 20"+ resonators so why use a mufflers at all. By contrast the Vibrant systems I sell have either no resonator at all or max 18" bottle style resonators, not the huge ones magnaflows need.

Interesting if it's something as simple as the mufflers. As far as the audio clips - thanks. Unfortunately it seems that audio clips never seem to do an exhaust justice. Wish I could hear it in person.

Looking forward to the audio clip.
UPS says I'll get the Nismo exhaust on Thursday. I'll install it that night unless something comes up. UPS seems to like to make me their last stop from time to time (7pm+!!!!).

I know you've probably gone over it like 10 times but what is your current exhaust set up. I'm stock except for crimp removed from (b-pipe?), I'll probably add y-pipe soon.

Looks like exhaust is showing up a day early and I should get it installed tonight. If all goes as planned I'll try to get all my photos online tonight as well.
anm6, how many nuts/bolts does it come with? The stock Y-Pipe has 2 bolts attached to it and you just put the nuts directly onto the Y-Pipe to attach the back portion of the exhaust. I don't have the stock Y-Pipe so I am wondering if I'll need to buy 2 more bolts at home depot..

Kazakhstan is the greatest country in the world, all other countries are run by little girls. Kazakhstan is number one exporter of potassium, Other Central Asian countries have inferior potassium.

Oh sorry man misread the post I thought you said it the catman did have the bolts on it. I'm still half a sleep just got to work(830am) and 530am is early when you stay up to watch the Celtics bomb the Rockets. LOL, Then yea you would need to pick up the bolts at the HD. Can;t wait for tonight GL with the install.

All uninstalled Cattman / installed Nismo today. Basically the Nismo seems to have more low end torque than Cattman. I haven't taken it out on the highway yet to see how it screams or to test high end torque.
So far it is virtually identical to stock sound inside the cabin with absolutely no drone. This is finally wife approved. I was going to do audio, but amn6 pretty much got that done for me.
Fitment is perfect, absolutely no issues with my 2007 rear bumper. I really am surprised how I like the look of the new setup. I didn't think I was going to like the single tip mufflers, but they seem to look good to me in person since they have such a large opening.
One thing interesting is the Nismo pipes are 2.5 inches all the way back to the mufflers. It has a crimp still, but at least the pipe is a good diameter. I swear stock is 2 inches or 2.25 inches, but I could be wrong.
I'm not sure where Cattman's updated setup bolts up, but mine could not be mixed with the Nismo mufflers. The rear Y was simply too long on the Cattman setup. See the pictures of the rear Y in the box below and compare it to the Cattman rear Y I have.
Here are some pictures:
