Ok so I finally got time to get my exhaust installed today by the great guys at AAMCO Transmissions.
Here are the pics of the install. Video will be posted in the next week or so.

I can't even begin to explain how this exhaust sounds because it is physically impossible to use words to explain this exhaust.
It sounds like.... see I can't come up with anything that compares.

Welcome to the RPI family! Make sure you add the scoop if you haven't already. I still get chills starting my car and hearing the exhaust. If you havent tested the take off on DS mode, its a must!
really? I must give that a whirl then

I was just about to post the same about starting the car up. When you hear that exhaust clear out and start to rumble it's like nothing else!

I wonder how it would sound with the resonator removed.
louder with drone, which is not a good thing in my book.
