I hope you're not showing that side face-up either!

I'm used to crawling under low cars, LOL. Just wondering if you'll be there that's all.

Sounds great now (got a chance to drive it the other day). I don't remember what can's he was running, the tips say thermal but I don't think it was a thermal exhaust.

It looks like a hushpower is also used as a "resonator" which precedes the split tail section. I think Flowmaster morphed into Hushpower, so instead of the usual straight through design of resonator, the perforated baffle design of hushpower seems to be used. I would think that this would make for a pretty quiet performance exhaust. Are there any power comparisons?

I believe he had the full Stahl/DMH system before. He gained 10ftlb's with the RMW set up. I wouldn't classify this system as quiet. More like mean. It's for the guy who likes to hear his car more then the radio .
