I only broke one of the big bolts removing the old system. I don't know what to do with the old stuff now. The new system looks absolutely great, and the sound is everything I wanted. I got the black mufflers with polished tips, quiet version. No resonance at 2k or 2.4k rpm (or wherever it is sometimes occurs). Nearly silent at idle, nice muted, deep noted roar at WOT, and it starts to wail at top rpm. Oh yeah... Problems? I get a very slight *BRRP* when I back off the throttle fast. Don't like it. Underneath, the fitment isn't so good. I am 5 inches from a HICAS suspension arm on the right and only 1 inch away on the left. You have to get down and look under the car to notice, but it's true. The hangers are slightly misplaced, so the rubber biscuits are *really* twisted up and squished to accept the hangers. (Nonetheless, all looks fine unless you crawl down there.) I got this last year with the group buy. The system has been sitting in my spare bedroom all this time, waiting for me to get a baseline dyno test.
