In the process of securing a set as we speak.
Will let you know my thoughts once I receive and install them.

yeap.. so ur securing the fabspeed or doing a custom ?

i think the sound is attributed to the mufflers delete more than the steel pipes that replaces them..

anyway you guys know where i can find a guide on how to remove muffler?

i went to rentech but user must contribute in order to view guides..gee i wonder what i can contribute as most are listed already to those i know how

Fabspeed. I just don't have the time to tinker around with trial and error with an exhaust shop. Although, you are right that a custom setup would be more than adequate.

I do not believe that you need to remove the rear bumper for install. To quote member Gundo, "The install takes all of 45 minutes by yourself with jackstands, maybe even ramps. Very easy."

UPDATE: WOW! So I installed the Fabspeed bypass pipes. First, let me say the sound is amazing. It actually sounds like a race car. You absolutely want to put your foot in it everytime you accelerate. On the other hand, it is LOUD. On the highway it wasn't as bad as I expected but acceleration when you have your foot deep in the throttle it is loud. I am undecided on whether or not I am going to keep them or not. Low end torque loss is not that noticeable but I didn't really push the car to it's limits either. I could definitely live with the sound I just don't want to have to look over my shoulder all the time for cops.
