Installed the MiniSpeed One Ball pipe

The entire job took about 70 min. I just jacked the car up and slid under. I used the free loaner tail pipe cutter from AutoZone. I needed to drop the system a few inches so I could get the cutter around the pipe. It made short work of the stock pipe. I have not decided where or not I'm going to have it welded or not.

I like the sound, it is just a bit deeper in tone and there is more burble. There is some minor drone at 2,400-2,500 RPM

Good to hear it went with out a hitch. When i had done my one ball back in March I think it was I didn't have access to a pipe cutter so I used a jab-saw but I got it done and then acouple days later i had a buddy ARC weld it up. Now I am running M7 Exhaust

My experience was that the SS clamps worked great and allow for subsequent adjustment so if your not leaking why fix something that is not broke. Add an OBX header and it gets deeper pls some additional TQ/HP.

I never heard any drone but you are talking about a 100 rpm range and I don't spend much time down there
