Thanks for the quick review. How was the installation? Does the muffler align perfectly with the cutout of the bumper or does it hang too low? I have around a 2.7 inch drop and I don't want it to scrape the driveway. There was one member on here who got the Hipers + the HKS silencer and he said it was AS quiet as l-tuned, rmm etc.. Please do post some pics if you getthe chance .
Well the installation was a snap... took me no longer than about an hour and a half.. I took my time too. It does sit low IMO.. I live in San Francisco so my DRIVEWAY SUCKS! I had to modify the hangers a bit to raise it so I wouldnt scrape in my driveway. I never scrape anywhere else but my driveway is almost at a 45 degree angle... SUCKS!! oh well... I will take some pics as soon as I am finish with the rear wing... If I am gonna take pics of the rear of the car.. might as well wait til everything is done..

I love my TTE Quad, BTW it's made by remus and sounds like I've got like 400+ refined horses, with no drone at all, and looks classy, not rice

I wonder sometimes how much difference in sound NOT loudness are there in different exhausts. Since all V8 produces low deep tone, the only difference should be the loudness. I think all exhaust on a GS4 should sound like 400 refined horses IMO.

Not sure if this is the same exhaust you saw on suprastore.com but Steve Ganz had a special not too long ago on this:

I was thinking of putting on the stock SC400 exhaust with larger tips. Would this be a consideration?
Does anyone know if this will fit also? I just love the way how the older SC's sound. Perfect enough for me.
Has anyone done this?
