I got mine from them on e-bay for $174 plus shipping. Get mine tomorrow. Only problem is my Interstate battery was dead this morning and I have to order it and it won't be here till Tuesday. No sweat exhaust sound this weekend. :-(

I installed mine today. The only problem that I had was getting the old muffler out. I'm still figuring out the best placement for the bolts on the strap as I haven't got a solid fit against the bracket yet. I'll get out for a drive tomorrow and see how it compares to the G-pipe that I removed.

Only fitment issue I had was with one of the mounts...the passenger side was off by about 3/8"+(to the inside)...but it still hung on the bracket, and when you strap it in...not going anywhere. So it's about $8 more if you buy on Ebay 
oh well...
I have the strap bolts directly on the underside and tight...takes a little visualization to bend the strap to get the right curves, but just be patient.

I also have the bolts on the bottom as it was easier. I tried to tuck them up against the bracket at the front, but my metal bending ability is limited. I still need to cinch up the bolts to get the strap tight to the mounts.

Not too bad there. I used a clamp to flatten out the top/bottom where it 'should' be flat at the bracket.(towards the front) Follow? Helped get rid of some of the extra play in the strap to tighten it further.

It is pretty obvious in the picture where the slack is. My patience ran out before the project completion. I will need to finish it today. A clamp is a better tool than the hammer!

I'm waiting anxiously for UPS to run as I'm typing. I'm going to try to do it tomorrow. My local exhaust shop said he'll do it for me for $40. Tempting. My time is valuable. And he is a good guy who restores cars, he always has some awesome project going. Today it was a 57 belair on a rotisserie ready to be mated back to the chassis. Sweet. I'll let you know how it goes. I want to be on the lake this weekend.

Ok. Got the pipe on today and sounds sweet. Louder, but not too loud. Just right in my opinion. There is a small problem though. Now it seems that my car stalls alot more easily when stopping. Especially after you have downshifted and blipped the revs. The up and down rev fluctuation drops it right off the clock.
