Install was pretty straight-forward and went smoothly. Had some minor tip alignment issues - and the pipes didn't give much clearance at the bend before the resonator... gunna have to watch it for awhile.
After install, the sound is PERFECT! Very nice and mellow - idle sounded great! Acceleration was MUCH smoother and linear... no neck-snapping at 3500 rpm...
Only current concern is a strange noise at roughly 5000rpm... kinda a "ricey" buzzing - hoping this is a fitment problem... or that it goes away with some time. Anyone else had this?
Overall - this is fantastic... only very slightly louder than stock... a great upgrade.
Thanks to Bob @ Stratmosphere for this great setup!

I get a buzzing affect as well, though I don't have the resonator option. I wondered if it qualified as "cabin drone", not knowing what it really is.
I also noticed that the center pipe isn't perfectly center-aligned in the recession that runs front to back underneath the car, so the pipe is almost hitting the side of the well. If I opt to use the center hangar, the pipe will be jammed up against the side of the recession as it is lifted by the hangar.

vibration except my was at idle. Tightened it up and through a little shim of sheet metal under it and it all went away.
