Default Greddy PE installed!!

i just put my greddy power extreme exhaust in, took a little under an hour.

i'll have pics up tomorrow 'cause it's too dark right now and plus we got lots of finger prints on the bottom of the car so i gotta give it a nice wash before i snap some photos

the install was easy, unbolt the old, bolt on the new the hardest part was gettin' the rubber hangers on/off lol..

oh and i don't have gaskets and i heard that i don't need them, but it might cause leaks? any input? should i go and get some gaskets or will i be fine? how do i know if i have a leak?

i don't know how to do sound clips if someone wants to tell me how i'd be happy to put up a clip of how it sounds as well

the sound is great, not as loud as i thought it'd be.. gives it that kick and i can feel the difference as well. the exhaust and the intake (srt) are about the same in loudness once you hit high RPM's

lol.... well about the gaskets, when i originally got the exhaust they didnt come with any. i went to my friends shop and asked him if he could make me some gaskets. he took a quick look at the setup and told me it wasnt necessary. i took his word for it and upon taking off my stock mufflers i noticed that they too didnt have gaskets. so i ruled out it was not necessary. the whole time i had it on i never smelt any leak and my state inspection they did not pulled up any leaks.

i hope this helped out....

Put your hand around the flange - if you feel a stream of heat coming out you need gaskets. Even if a little was leaking out, its so far back (and way way past the O2 sensors) that it wouldn't make a difference.

Yeah we need some pics and you should add a sound clip to the collection as I am in the market for an exhaust.

i don't know how to do a sound clip, but everyone who's heard my car LOVES the sound and i think it sounds great also, a bit quieter than i expected, but i love it!

bro, the new exhausts look sweet. Im not running any gaskets either, my stock ones didnt have, and the when I bought mine HKS used, they came with some old rusty gaskets that I wasnt going to put on (esp since my stock ones didnt have any).

your car looks good. the mufflers are a little aggressive looking for me, but if that's what you're after
