I had to get creative without access to a welder (or welding machine).

But there. Now my car's butt doesn't have a tailpipe with a hole in it! Yay!

Overall, quite happy with it. There's a bit more presence in the cabin, but it's nothing crazy. And I imagine it's a bit louder outside at speed, but sitting in park, it's rumbly without being abrasive. Overall, $334 shipped puts this as a good investment, especially as a replacement for old stock rusty equipment.
 
Nice. After 1000+ km wearing earplugs last weekend, replacing the 3" Megadrone™ exhaust with mine has moved up on my priority list.

I highly recommend it! The reviews are in!
"I thought it would be louder." - My Dad
"There was a change?" - My Girlfriend
"Holy s*** I gained 3 PSI off that?" - Me
 
Yeah, it's weird, it got up to 15 PSI (likely 14 PSI) and worked down to 10.4 AFRs, on the greentops! That said, I didn't take notice of how high the RPMs got, I should get a two-man team to monitor me and see what happens!
 
Wow just saw this, looks great!

I'm gonna say this, even though it won't be received well... don't delete AC. In my old age of 28 years old nothing is cooler than beautiful working AC in an older vovo. I'm adding it to 2 of the cars I own that were previously deleted.. (one of them by me)
 
:roll: My homies at the local shop offered to convert and fill up my A/C if I calibrated a couple of their wrenches, so it's not about effort or funds. Honestly, I don't ever feel the need for A/C in the car.

Thanks for reminding me to get the system drained though, I'm gonna put a catchcan where the condenser(?) is!

As far as line management goes, this is a really good piece, cleaned up the bay quite nicely. A+

Also replaced my FPR vac line while I was in there...

Oh! And the other bit(s) I plastidipped...

My mirror almost matches the rest of the car!
