Unfortunately it's pouring down rain and is expected to continue until Monday. Luckily I'm off Monday so hopefully I can install them...![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I'l guess I'll have plenty of time to take a few pics and perhaps a vid. Stay tuned.![popcorn](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/popcorn.gif)

Haven't heard any of the other manufacturer's offerings, including FDs, so I can't compare. I do plan on FD'n my OEM mufflers that I removed.
I still haven't made a video yet - but I intend to, and that's what's important
. But I will say this: after living with the M&Ks for awhile I've decided I love the sound, even though at times I would prefer they were a bit quieter, specifically when I'm driving a lot of stop-and-go at low speeds where the engine speed goes below 2500 rpm frequently. It can be somewhat intense. The sound is best described as a "deep rumble" and really turns heads at the weekend car meet in the parking lot of Otto's BBQ. Yes, some would probably describe it as a resonance and indeed it is, but it is not the sort of constant resonance that drives one nuts and delivers a splitting headache, it's just a transitory pressure felt when shifting and the rpms dip down to 2000, then fades out around 2800.
At highway cruising speeds they purr mercilessly and when accellerating up to speed - WOW!

who is the liar that posted on here removing the mufflers is a 20 min job per side? LMAO... took me forever! I feel like the studs in the first pic were put in backwards... because there was no room to remove them... I had to unbolt from the motor brackets.. 1 click of the wrench at a time....

Don't feel bad though - I tried to do the same thing.

First time I tried to take a muffler off I did the same but 1/2 hour in I figured out the other bolts were there...... It's kinda nice to figure it out before taking the whole thing out.
