I actually was wondering about the silencer. How is it held in? is it bolted or what?

theres a couple of bolts in there then just take some pliers and pull it out going around the edge of the hole til it pops out...i have mine in, ive taken it out a couple of times since ive had the exhaust and its really loud, too loud for me although the tone was amazing....even with the silencer the car is loud just much quieter while cruising.

I ordered mine from some random site a while back and got it just fine... got to do some searching.

The silencer does sound good in (sticks to its name though, silences), but it looks kinda funny. I just took it out and when I heard what it was without I liked it a lot more.

I have gotten a lot of compliments from the my megan cat-back btw. Only problem i have is it hangs a little low on the LS.

it is two "screws" that you can unscrew with your fingers then just get some pliers to pull it out.

Well, Iv had my exhaust on all day now and after about 60 miles of aggressive driving, I have to say it was WELL worth my money. This thing is incredible. Awesome quality, easy to install, great power, and it sounds really nice. The only negative thing I can say about it is that I keep getting rattles. I have one where the resonator meets up to the S bend pipe, which is vibrating aginst the bottom of the car, and another on the furthest back hanger on the chassis that holds up the piping which is vibreating aginst the piping itself. I think I have them pretty well ironed out by now after having the car on jacks 5 times today. The driving with this thing is really impressive. The car has a really aggressive roar to it from about 3500-5500 RPM. The power is supprisingly noticable also for it being my one and only mod. Midrange was increased quite noticably and it could rev out a bit further before dying out. I do have a question. What would help more to eleminate that high rpm dieout? A header and downpipe, or an intake? It seems like right when it hits about 5700, the exhaust gets less throaty and it revs out slower. I figured it would be more of the intake than the headder and downpipe, but i dont know just how restrictive either of the two are.

That one looks a lot better than the one out for the SS/SC....The one out for us looks like crap, sounds ok but is too loud for my taste...Especially with a catless downpipe and silencer delete. lol
