I said I would do a review but haven't since I'm lazy, but when I recieved my m2 axle back I noticed the left side hanger was bent downward and thought it may of been an issue when installed, but when I went to a local shop to install the whole system fit it was perfect fitment. Installation probably took about 15 minutes total.

Really? When I first installed mine it was hanging really low on the driver side and up/right on the passenger side so I had a local shop straighten the tips out but now I noticed that the tips are slowly working their way back to how they originally were...any ideas/thoughts on how to fix this? The guy at the shop said that since the exhaust is stainless steel, it is not possible to bend the hangers.

My right side gradually started to push outward, but I'll get it fixed sooner or later. Not entirely a big big deal to me. Anyways heres my vid that I forgot to post here. It's a before and after I get a resonator delete since I wanted my exhaust to be a little louder. Overall I'm happy with my purchase. Paid $280 shipped + $30 for install (could be free if you have tools/it's easy to install but I opted out) + Resonator delete $30 local shop

Fixed!
Cleaned with Sonax Wheel Cleaner, Decon with IronX, baggie tested (didn't need additional claying), used the fine aluminum polish from Blackfire by hand, and sealed with Blackfire Metal Sealant.

Damn that sounds pretty good. How does it sound in person? Raspy? Ricey? Please tell me it sounds deep low and aggressive! I am planning to do a resonator delete on mine.
