It has been a while since I've listened to it coming from the car though (hasn't been running in a while). Easy to install as any other cat back. I love the look of the tips as they don't draw too much attention. Had a great tone but I felt like it was too tame on factory downpipes and cats. I loved it even more after adding the downpipes and test pipes though I wish I would have waited to get the SZ 3" expansions when they came out.
