nice! glad you finally got it on and glad you love it. it will sound different after a few long drives and your ti tip will turn into funky purple blue colors. my whole tip has turned purple blue already!

I do love the sound of that exahust. But I'm one of those "weird" guys that things the 8 looks like poo with a single exhaust.

dubbx,
when I wrote about the 'passenger's side' I said it bends even more. so, what I mean, is that driver's side has better flow. in the end, we are saying the same thing I like it more coming out from the passenger's side, just for looks. that's my personal opinion, that's all

guys, the difference in flow for that much of a bend at that size tube and the output of this engine is irrelevant

Shot from the back,,,



And my favorite ,,The new Factory Installed Exhaust! ,,,,,

The install went very nicely. Only bloodied one knuckle on one of the hangers.
I love the way this system sounds and I would recommend the HKS to anyone who wants a single pipe kit.
Quality,, Quality,, Quality!



Is this the look of the final product?

Is the adjustable tip more of an add-on, or is it necessary? I'm just curious if the adjustable tip even needs to be put on and if it will extend out far enough in the exhaust cutout without the adjustable tip. Personally not a big fan of the tip since the whole thing eventually turns blue.

Once the exhaust shroud is put back on, the finished product will look something like this:

The adjustable length tip must be installed otherwise the tip would probably melt the plastic exhaust shroud (especially with a turbo). Having the adjustability also allows for additional tip length in case of an added rear body kit.
