No before shipping. I'm in Canada so my shipping + Customs will make it a lot more expensive than for you

I am getting ready to order one. Sounds like this exhaust is reliable and good.

Just go to any local muffler shop and ask them to do a resonator delete. Should be about $40-60. You don't need to buy anything since most muffler shops have a straight pipe that they'd solder in place after cutting off the resonator.

That's what I figured, just wanted to make sure. Won't throw any codes or anything will it?

Nope, the resonator is after the sensors.

Default Love it!

Installed mine last night. Sounds great! Really deep tone when accelerating, but hardly noticeable while driving (unless at higher RPM's). Did not mess with correcting the left muffler yet - as mentioned by most, it is slightly lower than the right, but not too noticeable unless you are looking for it.

Will post plenty of pictures later!

It's been raining (finally) so I haven't had time to wash the car and get a proper photo shoot in, so here is a quick shot with my iPhone. This is with no modification to the fitment. Left muffler hangs slightly lower than the right, but it's so little that I might not even mess with it (at least not for now).

when you bolted on the axle back, did you have any problems getting it to connect to the stock midpipe? i had probs. just want to know how you did it.

It was not easy, but I would not say it was a problem. It seemed to fit right up, but those spring loaded bolts are nearly impossible to compress and apply torque using hand tools. Luckily I have access to power tools, which made it a piece of cake. I used a couple of pairs of vice grips to hold the y-pipe to the mid pipe while I was fastening the bolts.
