Installed!

Installed my FVD exhaust today. Whole process from start to finish about 7 hours. Hardest part of the install was. Remove the top screws of the cats. With a litte patience and the right wrenches managed to remove them.
The exhaust sounds great. Very throaty and can hear the turbos whistle All in all great looking and very nice quality. Another satisfied customer. Thanks Rhonda!
Here are pics of the exhaust.

I love everything about your photos. Especially what appears to be the air conditioner mounted on the wall! FVD doesn't get a lot of press around here, but I've been very impressed with all of their products when I have seen them in person.

What are those jack stands you are using? I need a set of those for my garage. I'm somewhat curious what the procedure was to get the car up on them as well, did you use a standard floorjack or ?

Thanks! Fvd products and service is excellent. They shipped my order on Monday and I received my package Tuesday. I'm installing the FVD tune tomorrow

No, they are not jack stands. It's a car lift. You raise and lower the car with a drill. Lifts the car up to 26". It has in motor, it's light and it can be broken down for storage or can fit in the truck of a car to transport. Love it. It is perfect for my low ceiling garage.
Here is the link for the lift.

Q

Do you have to remove the bumper to change the exhaust or can it be done with the bumper?

Tail lights, bumper cover, bumper, wheels, wells, and air intake to access the o2 censors.
