well i installed my thermal catback today.. its extremely nice and fits wonderfully. the installation took about an hour of raw work time. the sound is great, very very quiet at idle but after ~3000rpm at wide open throttle, it really howls... its a very clean sound, and deep, not raspy at all. also, it doesnt look as ricey as i thought it might

the exhaust came from SpecMo. in Chicago
the piping is 2.5" all the way through, and the tip is 4" (a little too big for my liking also)
the sound is great, gotten a bunch of compliments already on the sound and look
