Look I didn't want to hijack this thread. I am very sorry if I did that.

I will post some photos with bumper on when I put back on the single one.
As for the install, as you can see in HKS, the pipe goes round the differential so is mine and yes we cut the metal frame (which can be cut with scissors by the way) and removed the fog light to get it out. As for the aesthetics, I kinda like it, it is unique u could say.
But the purpose is not the looks, if so I would keep my ti Trust. The purpoose is the flow. Sthraight through, no bends and twists, more power. And of course some other gains, lowered temps one of them.

theoretically, but in reality it won't make any noticable difference once you get to 3", otherwise you'd be better off not even running it all the way to the back bumper

^Quite right. It is 3''. (I was supposed to go F/I, but...not yet)
You mean, have it behind the bumper like yours? Or get it off the roof?
Anyway, a sure thing I noticed after going back to the stock cat back, with all the others on, is problems idling, problems with A/C and much much heat from the motor. As a result even with a slight push the engine boggs down after a while. Could this be due to the stocker? Don't know. Friday I am putting back the single one and will check it out.
Another question. What about backpressure in the single unit? HKS,RB,customs? Is it proper for N/A?

EDIT: My exhaust is approx, 2,76''

IMO for a zero overlap timing engine like the Renesis, the less backpressure the better

there's a point where there won't be any further benefit, 3" for an NA Renesis is more than adequate

Not to sure if you've ever heard the legamax exhaust before, but the single outlet is a "wee" bit louder..suprisingly..

^^^dude, the hks exhaust is pretty quiet imo, so this shouldn't be that loud. But then again it's pretty relative, I have a pretty audible exhaust.
