Tubi Installed!
Picked up the car on Friday. Pics should be showing up on www.gmgracing.com sometime soon I would imagine.
The exhaust is freaking sweet. A little louder than I had expected, but it is a most sporty note. Startup and first gear low revs are VERY loud but not obnoxious, gentle gliding through the gears is somewhat normal, but full throttle is freaking amazing; sounds like a different car all together.
Not sure I'll have time this weekend, but I'll see if I can find someone to help me with some video/driveby flix. PM me if you have storage space for some MPEGs.

Depending on how much time I have free @ work tomorrow, I may be able to recruit a "film crew" so to speak and run a few clips. Palting - thanks for the info re: google video. I'll try there and/or youtube (the former seems to be having bandwidth issues compared to the latter).
On a side note, I also had the clear front-side markers installed at the same time. It REALLY makes a difference compared to the amber markers. Very clean looking.

Can't wait to hear the Tubi
I can't decide between Tubi and AWE
A friend of mine suggested Photobucket.com for image and video hosting. He says it is free.

FWIW, it took them longer than expected on account of the directions from Tubi indicating they should re-use the exhaust gaskets, when in fact, that was a bad idea that led to leaks & crappy sounding exhaust. The installer took care of it with new gaskets.

I just got my tubi exhaust in the mail today. It is great looking! I will take some pics and document the install. I like the fact that it eliminates the secondary cats, similar to both the Fabspeed and AWE systems. It sould make similar power to those. I am going to dyno it before and after hopefully.
. But, hurry up already
