I tried to get the camera in the same place both times.
The GMPP is 2.25 all the way through. In the installed clip, notice the size of the old muffler. It turns back on itself.
It cost me $420.71 with shipping, took about 2 weeks to get here. Don't forget the tip, I got the angled one from GMPP, like $60, so everything cost $480
after I left I went to the dealership to see my salesman, real kewl guy, and the stuff they put on the pipes was smoking everyone was looking at me like wtf..

I didn't take any pics during the install. It's real simple actually. Unbolt the old parts, remove the hangers and cut the stock pipe near the rear axle.
Install is simple, do it in sections and it works good.
They did have to align it....go figure, it wasn't centered....

So has anyone esle had Vibrant before, I was hoping to get the full kit, but if the fitment and welds suck I guess not. I was told they made a decent exhaust? Was the person that told me an idiot?

I'm partial to Corsa. It has the sound I would expect from a domestic sport compact. And a Chevy dealer by me will actually order and install cheaper than Corsa themselves!!

I think for the most part, all of them sound pretty similar. I dont really care how it sounds, I just want the best performance out of them. My car can sound like a run away chain saw for all I care, so along as that run away chain saw has the best HP gains
