Sounds absolutely fantastic!!!!!

And I agree with Bluelex's comments about the tips being set too low from the bump vertically. As far as how far they stick out horizontally, they look great!

Thanks Guys! I got a chance to play it on my system at work with speakers and it sounds even better than I thought as compared to on my tiny laptop speaker...LOL!

I actually think now that regardless of what hi-flow muffler you get, it's the X-pipe design with the resonators removed that give it the nice grunt that causes some of us to have a great big grin on our faces!

Yep, exactly! You hit the nail on the head with that comment.

If you listen to mine (see my sig), it sounds almost identical to yours.

For the GS4, there are two cats further up. Then, there is a small muffler at the connection which basically acts like a resonator, and then the pipes split again into two where each has a resonator.
