That looks very nice. Bet you are well pleased.
I was less pleased by being given the runaround by UPS for 2 days, but yes, when it eventually arrived Here's hoping tomorrow goes well.

Good luck tomorrow mate, looking forward to seeing it fitted. Wish these weren't so expensive because I'd love one, I'm drooling!
Nice work, looks lovely. Doesn't sound much louder than OEM to my untrained ears....which is a good thing in my book!
That looks great and you have done a good job.
I would like one of these as I prefer the twin exit look. Just wish I could find something a bit cheaper. I may have to just replace my mid pipe and keep the oem tail pipe.

From how you describe it may sound similar to my Mugen Twinloop, love how non-asbo it is!
Seems like it's ideal then! I think the Twinloop has been discontinued maybe?
Mine would be quieter if it weren't for the Tegiwa M and the engine mount inserts but it's not as bad as the Spoon cat-back I once had on an EK4.
I have half of the engine mount inserts installed, back 2 mount IIRC. It's quite bumpy on idle already.
Also have some stiffer exhaust mounts, but they don't seems to make any difference in vibrations transferred to the cabin.
So, install done, took me about 2hrs with a bit of messing around during the process, this is probably the fastest piece of work I've done yet. Either I'm getting better at this or I just got lucky.
On the down-side, the flange on the cat is showing signs of deterioration which worries me, but that's something for another day
Before and after sounds:

Appareance:
It sticks out a bit more than the OEM one because I don't have the JDM cat, I can live with that though. If the cat flange fails then maybe I can get a new one put on after cutting off the old, making the whole thing a bit shorter anyway
Many thanks to my neighbour for letting me use his workshop. Shelter, help, and additional tools were much appreciated.
It's amazingly quiet in the cabin, no drone, and the bass note at idle is pleasant.
Yours sits lower than mine Mike
Is it because you have Js Racing hangers ?
The J's Racing hangers permit me to adjust to 3 different heights. I think it's probably on the lowest right now. I could pull it up some more but didn't see the need. If it becomes a problem I still have room to move. I didn't want it bumping/rubbing.
