Exactly my thoughts. I have 3 kids so a loud exhaust isn’t in the cards for me. I wanted something that sounded like how it should have came from the factory and better looking. No one can actually like the stock muffler and tip look.

Yeah that’s me too, except two kids. From everything I have read and listened, especially the former. Everyone seems to be happy and frankly I don’t think I have read anyone knock this exhaust. And that it offers great tone but nothing that loud and no drone. Assuming all of that is true, I’ll be perfectly happy. I got my ST in December and I’ve been debating what to do exhaust wise since then lol

It seems like the install is pretty easy im just scared of cutting incorrectly and screwing it up. Debating having a shop do it.

Yea I’m definitely having a shop do it. I don’t have the balls to cut anything on my car lol. I just don’t trust myself. Basically all I was looking for is when I floor it there’s a rumble. Instead of sounding like a Prius launching.

Yeah I think I may start calling some shops to see what they would charge. If it’s not too expensive, must just be worth the peace of mind.

Same, looks like it'll be shipped out soon (4/20/2022 - 4/22/2022). If I get it on or before the 28th I'll definitely be going to my exhaust shop to get it put in on the 29th.

Mine says possibly shipping as early as today. Once it ships and I get tracking from fedex, I’ll call shops.

I know it varies by location, but any idea what to expect cost wise for a shop to do this? It seems like people in their driveways do it in less than an hour. An experienced shop I would imagine could have it done one 30 min or less. Hell I just need them to cut so I don’t screw it up. I can put it on lol

Cutting a section of exhaust pipe is nothing. The instructions show clearly where to make the cut(s), and a reciprocating saw will go through it in just a few seconds. It took way longer to get the mufflers set in and aligned than it did to cut.

Updating this again since I had my factory resonator welded back in this afternoon. What a difference - sounds absolutely amazing. With the H-pipe, it was just way too loud - almost straight-pipe loud, but it's perfect now. The rumble is noticeable, but nowhere near close to obnoxious. No drone at all, just completely mellow when cruising on the freeway. For the $$$, this really is a kit that can't be beat.

Thank god I held off on removing the resonator, I was going to just remove the resonator and keep the stock mufflers.

Can't wait to get this one put on my ST! Hopefully next week on Friday if I get it before then.

Delivering to Golden, CO. I did order stainless tips. Did you order black? It may be that most people are ordering black, creating an inventory issue.
