Maybe the seller got the specs wrong. I haven't seen 4 inch exhaust tips in a minute and those don't look that big in that pic
True, the tips aren't that big.

I can't see the piping diameter of the M2 as 2.75 or even 2.5. I just got my Megan mid pipe and the piping is slightly larger(Megan is 2.5).

The exhaust bolts straight up to your stock Y-pipe. They're secured by the same spring-loaded bolts that your stock exhaust uses. As for the muffler, they hang on the same rubber hangers that comes with the stock exhaust.

One man job? Could be. I saved myself the trouble and went to an exhaust shop as I anticipated there would be some metal hanger bending on the mufflers themselves.

Mufflers have bolts also. I did my install myself but it would be easier with a helping hand. If you have a cordless impact wrench it works wonders on the spring bolts cause they are a ***** to get started with just a Rachet

Thanks! I'm gonna order it soon. I'm in the Navy and the base provides a full stocked auto hobby shop for us to use so I'll have every tool I need. Would love to see some vids! How's the sound compared to a stock exhaust w/ res delete?

Definitely less raspy and more bass. Check out some of the earlier posts, there are exhaust clips available.

i have a is350 with an F sport intake, will this exhaust boost the sound of the car or will the intake over power the exhaust. Also will this provide a more sporty sound at low revs and when accelerating normally instead of rapidly, because the intake only really kicks in when accelerating rapidly

It can be done by yourself, but much easier with two people. No welding...just bolts right on.

A quick eBay search and you would've found it
