Cut of the stock exhuast and installed the eismenn cat back race system last night. It was a fairly simple task as long as your useing a lift. I had a bit of worry when the hanger at the tail pipe end did not match up, until I noticed that the hanger suport could be moved. The other thing I did not expect to run into was a vacumm controled exhuast flaper valve. I had noticed a couple of days ago that no exhuast was exiting from the right side pipe even when covering the left, now I know why. Any way its not doing any thing now, just closed of the vacumm line. Does any one know why this valve is on the stock exhuast? I am very happy with the sound and look of the eismenn so far and as for the performance I would say it feels smoother when getting on it as if there was a lag that is now missing
