See, I demonstrated my incompetence by not even being able to properly articulate my question!!

I just want to know how easy it is to install the 3 pieces in the pics you posted at the start of this thread. Didn't realize that the first two are side mufflers.

I look forward to seeing how your install goes! No bumper removal?!?!?! Wow, that makes it even better!!!

I highly doubt this is going to sound much different than using the SW or GMG with caps on the top inlets.
I highly appreciate your enthusiasm about cars. I am waiting to see your sound/ video clips. It will help me make decision whether is to go with "full" FVD cat-back or side muffer only. Cheers

I can't wait for tonight.

Hope it turns out to Matt's satisfaction.

For various reasons, I'd feel awfully bad if it didn't.

Can't wait for the impressions and sound. The email to Rhonda is sitting in 'Drafts' awaiting a 'Send'.

Thanks Money!

I finished install about an hour ago. It raining, so I only took a short, safe trip.

My first impressions are that it's pretty darn good. I'm not sure yet if it's benchmark good, but I certainly like it. It is a little deeper sounding and no drone. It was pouring, so I couldn't put the windows down. I'll have more seat time tomorrow and over the weekend.

Install took me about 4 hours. I did have to remove the rear bumper. In my haste to get out and test the exhaust, I forgot to plug the stupid license plate lights back in!

I have a crap load of photos and video to put up. I'll also be making a bunch of videos in and out of the car to capture the sound. Please bare with me. I think I've reached the wife's limit of tolerance having done the GMG Rollbar and then exhaust today. Oh, and like 10 boxes of detailing supplies have shown up in the past week or so. I need to slow my roll a bit otherwise I may end up on living in my car.

Matt - please advise what you did. Did you install their side mufflers with their bypass?

What did you think about their side mufflers? Fit and finish good?? Better than OEM side mufflers?

I added a bunch of photos. I installed the Side Mufflers with the FVD center bypass. I'll have the video up soon.
