Message	First I want to say thinks to Greg and Seb. I ordered this last Thursday 4/9 and they told me they were behind and it would take about 2 weeks before it would ship. I told them I understood, but need it to pass inspection this month since I just found a nice hole in my muffler. They said they would see what they could do. It arrived yesterday - 3 days before it was even suppose to ship. I was very impressed. They are top notch guys. I know they were swamped, but they still took time to answer my questions. Any who, I decided to start on it last night since it was raining and there was nothing else to do. I am calling the box pix trend dead and skipping right on by it... Here is my old system on the car. It was on there when I bought it. They did not look that bad, but they were SHOT. Here is a pic of them off the car. Notice the repair work we did not the one on the right to get me by another few weeks... =) Here is the Labree out of the box - finish was outstanding. My friend came over near the end of the install and did not want to help with the mufflers since he was scared he would scuff it up! Fit was just about perfect. The passenger side hangs just a SHADE lower. No biggie, but I will notice it. I will work on bending the hanger this weekend to raise it up a tad. Sorry for the washed out pic, but the license plate reflected too much and I had to lighten it up to see it. All in all the install were ok. The very last bolt I took off was the bottom most cat bolt and it would not budge. Soaked it for hours and then put on a 6 point socket and pushed with my foot. It rounded of course, so I just ground it off and drill the rest of it out. That took longer than all the other stuff put together. It was pouring, so I could not try it out, but just idleing in the garage it had a nice deep note. I think I will be please with it. I could not believe the difference in the piping with the 2.5" mandrel tubes. I am glad I did not get the custom set up I was looking at even if it was a $150 cheaper. This is 10 times the system.
