I will take some pics when i get it up on the lift to install the new stuff. Can't wait to get rid of the unbalanced washing machine in my trunk. LOL

That doesn't sound very good then. Was it a mounting issue or a design issue with the system? Did you mate the mid pipe and exhaust with your stock headers or did you use something else? Is your car lowered or stock height? Is it banged up beyond usability or, if planning on throwing away anyway, would you be interested selling cheaply to an interested buyer? :)

Thanks!

It is not a design issue per se, it is just that the muffler is a universal muffler welded to pipe that has been bent to fit the car, the muffler is simply wayyyyy too big for the car. I am just cutting off the muffler and welding in a replacement, the piping itself is great. My setup is that I have an OBX header, then my stock cats and resonator, then the obx exhaust kit from the resonator back. I am lowered on progress in the front, cut stock springs in the back; however, no matter what suspension you have, it doesn't change the fact that the muffler is too huge for the car. The caddy has needed a new muffler for a long time, so I am going to see if I can fit this one in there

Thanks for the info! After talking to a friend/co-worker about what he thought about the product and he pretty much asked me a simple question. "Why don't you just go to a muffler place and have then bend you a tube from the cat back and slap a better muffler on it?" Might be cheaper and better than a full exhaust system.... I drive by a muffler place every weekday on my way home from work and never thought of that.
