Default Side pipes ROCK! Thanks, SIGNGUY

Just got my car back from the muffler shop, and all I can say is WOW! The side pipes sound great, not too loud, just right. Actually a little less noise than with my old system. When I put my foot into it and shifted at 5500 then things get very wild. I can see though why you must be very carefull on getting out of the car, very toasty. I know that my Patriot pipes are not like the Hookers but so far I give them a thumbs up!!! :party:

These will go on my car someday, too.

So, did they feel more restrictive ... or about the same as your undercar system ?

I think you'll find driving this summer a tad cooler too.

The performance seems to be very close, and the sound at WOT is unbelievable! The only problem is they have a slight leak on the pass side, I need to somehow seal them?
