Right on Murray. Mine was a PITA as well.

I have been driving the snot out of mine. Tiger patch still holding up.

Enjoy!

I didn't take actual measurements but it was a noticeable difference. Felt like Maybe 10 Pounds or so.

Hmmm...nice, that's better than nothing. With my early '86 I can't get the RMB which would have saved me around 30lbs(?) from the muffler alone.

It took me a while to get everything clamped up tight without any leaks. But it seems to be done now. I like the throaty sound and truthfully when driving normally I dont really notice much difference. At higher rpms and with a heavier foot it certainly sounds sportier. The butt-o-meter says hp is up. If I floor it at around 3-4k rpm in first it will lay down a nice strip of rubber. Actually 2 strips even without the limited slip. Had a few WOT shifts into 2nd where the *** end went squirrely too. So yes it does feel like there is some extra ponies on tap. I may get out to a dyno this summer and see what it really added. Happy with it so far and no droning.
