I like the sound, very mellow and no drone, especially above 60mph. But if you get on it, you definitely can hear it.

Install went well. I bought some hardware but needed none of it. Since the flanges are threaded, unlike many other systems, you can just use the stock bolt and spring. No leaks, and the sound is really nice. It's enough sound for me and has a low, mellow rumble to it for sure. I'm satisfied. Sounds like a sports sedan now at least. Thanks to all for the responses!

Looks great! That's cool the the flanges are threaded, I think all the others require nuts. Axle back only is the way to go on the GS IMO, the full cat back was to loud.

Looks great. Question about the spring bolts, is it hard to get the spring compressed to thread the bolt thru the threads, or is it easy to do? Just curious how you did that and did you do the install yourself or did you need someone to help/lend a hand to keep it compressed?

Thanks!

I just installed the same exhaust last night, as long as you hold the flanges together with one hand, you can easily thread in the bolt with the other hand. The spring only compresses when it is being tightened

I tightened it until the flat at the bottom of the bolt was VERY seated against the flange
