Hmm, I hope this is not as long as others, most of what has been said, I second.

1st. Thanks to WebbMotorsports (Randy Webb) for being a great Vendor, taking my calls and having the understanding to help a novice like me. and for going the Extra mile to make sure I was happy.

2nd. Thanks to UUC for a great product. this thing has over 200 miles and still looks bright and shinny. ScottG and I just looked at if for a good 20 min, we had to wipe up the pubbles of Druel.

3rd. Thanks to ScottG, just a local MCS owner with a whole shope in his garage, and lots of talent and interest to work on cars. I think others have gone to his house for an install or two. and to his wife, who, tolerates him and all of this stuff us Boys get into..

4th. Tips look Great! very happy, they also grow with heat, sharp!
5th. Sound, changes with RPM's, nice bruble as the RPM's come down
6th. nice power, and tourque I can feel the pull and after its seasoned I should gain a bit more from what I'm told.
7th. Lots of comments at the Autox,
8th. Ben said sounds real cool as I go by, he was working the track while I was running, said its sweet.

End Result. Very, Very happy, worth the $$$ for over all, Im sure their are others out thier with more HP and lighter, but not with this sound combination and it looks sweet, I had several guys get on their knees to see it, thats what Im talking about.

Now, Im going to Autox for a while and get used to my Mini. I got to hang around jason and Ben and Scott and Eric and others to get better at Autoxing, then the spending will begin again....

Nice write up, I have had the UUC on order for a month now (the dreaded box issue). I was told that it did finally ship this week. Your write ups have helped with the wait. Cheers!

PS> I will post a review as well late this month.

Ahh, the dreaded box issue. All I can say is when you get yours you will see a MONSTER box if it was like Kent's. There is no way that exhaust was going to get damaged! There was also two full garbage bags of foam peanuts in the thing. Don't open the box outside when the wind is blowing! The install is pretty easy. Have fun! Let us know how your install went.

ScottG,
Thanks for the warning on the foam peanuts. Sounds like the box issue was worth the wait, being out here on the left coast and UUC shipping from New Jersey. I will post my comments in a couple of weeks.
