Where did you order it from? If you install it yourself, would be interested in knowing any issues, level of difficulty, any tricks. Thanks!

I got bored or impatient one, but I went ahead and installed it today. It took me just over an hour with a jack and stands.

The only trick was WD40. After I had it on jack stands, I sprayed the hangers with WD40 to help me slide them off and back on. I gave it time to penetrate while I gathered all of my tools. The only thins you need is a deep socket set and a ft-lbs torque wrench. I ordered it from 4wheelparts.com, but ended up finding a better price at billettruck.com. Luckily 4wheelparts price matches, even after the sale.

Hopefully I can get some sounds loaded, but I will definitely have pics tomorrow. I can definitely say that it is one of the better exhaust sytems as far as sound and looks that I have ever had. I have had Flows, Magnaflow, and a few others, but this is the sound I was lloking for. Not too loud, but still tell that its V8, but once you get down around 1500 - 1800 rpms, it is like stock. So I don't have that drone on the highway.

Sounds great. I would like to hear it when you get the sound clip up. Oh and let me know how to do the sound clip, I would like to let everyone hear my exhaust but I dont know how to do that.
