Very deep sounding! I have it installed.

got pics? and is it true that the piping on the P5 is 2.5"?

 

[Blown]

The ID(inside diameter) is 2" I'd say.

i got mine from chris @ SPD for 240 shipped on this forum. his name i think is FC3s boy.
it was pretty qucik shipping (as fast as ground can get you from cali i guess)

yea i think it sounds really cool (and i noticed that the highway drone pretty much is non existant once you pass around 80 mph.

$240 shipped is a great deal.. Options Auto also has it for $234 (plus shipping) http://www.optauto.com/webstore/pro...3-EX024&variation=&aitem=25&mitem=69&back=yes

yea i got ripped off lol

 

[awdlax]

what tools do you need for the monts, I have never played with them.Do they pull strait out?

 

[awdlax]

Mounts*sorry

 

[Matthew]

yes...have a can of wd40 handy in case they decide to be tricky...there are two, i just pushed really hard and squirted them with the wd40...then you just have two bolts on the pipe...the hardest part was the fact that i stipped one of the bolts because i didnt have metric wrenches with me, so i had to use a hacksaw to take the f'ed up bolt off...if that hadnt happened, it might have taken about 30 min tops

 

[traitorhound]

wd40 was awesome. . .and watch for the damn exahsut heat shield when you are down under there. . .i got my pinky good with that damn thing. . .why cant they make them with rolled edges like computer cases nowadays (i cut myself on those a lot too)

 

[awdlax]

What size is the piping on the axel back-tip-inside muffler,pics.

 

[awdlax]

are there any power gains-loss?

 

[Matthew]

more top end power it seems, but not too much, as with all bolt on mods...ill give you some under carrige pics if you want

 

[awdlax]

that would be great, thanx

 

[Matthew]

no problem i have to run to the store, ill take some pics when i get back, just hang tight for about an hour or two max

the red arrows show the two bars you need to remove from the rubber fittings, and the smaller red arrow in the upper left hand picture closest to the pavement is where the two bolts are located on the piping itself
ps - sorry the pics look dirty, we just had a rainstorm...i dont have my silencer installed, you can see where it goes where the two holes in the tip are.
