DC sports exhaust on 2.2 VID + pics

Well the time has come and tomorrow my exhaust will be here, I can't wait to get it on the car. i hope theres some nice gains and more mpg, hopefully it's not too loud, and looks nice. i'll be sure to take pics and sound clips and post them on this thread, by 2 or 3 pm and Friday it should be on and everything will be posted. For now i'm running stock headers and stock DP w/ cone stock air box mod... but will soon upgrade to OBX head/DP combo...

08 LS coupe

then i think i'll be fully bolted,
intake
exhaust
head
dp

whatelse to be "fully bolted"

4"s is gonna look a little ricey cause it's big but the tip design should offset that. yzriders 4" corsa tip looks good but it's a little to big for my taste.

i have both, i was talking more about engine bolt ons...


AS PROMISED! I HAVE PICTURES AND A SOUND CLIP, the sound clip is taking with a igital camera and could be better,

right when i turned the car on i noticed a pingging nooise, i havn't had time to look into it but i think the exhaust is rubbing against the alluminum somewhere, i'll geta sound clip if i cant figure it out.

here a sound clip, revved to 3 k, then 2.5, then 2 then 3k again

yea thats weird... this exhaust claims 2.5" but a measured 2".. i hope its atleast 2.25, maybe it's decause tubes are measured by OD and not ID, anyways there was a huge difference from stock. whats the stock ls exhaust diameter?
