It will vibrate pretty hard at first until it breaks in. Mine isn't as rough now that a long time has gone by. As stated above, be sure everything is tightened down. If the gasket is blown then buy another one and lather some copper seal onto it. Seems to do the trick for me.

I see, yeah I'll have to invest in some copper seal then, Everything is working great, the only thing that I'm really complaining about is the gas mileage seem to take a little hit, But everything else is great, the vibration is not as bad either. I have a high flow cat downpipe on setup it's loud but I think it's motor mount that's louder than anything lol

What about yours?

We have only tested it with the Injen (that is why we state Injen), however we have heard there are no issues and it will fit just fine. Hope the helps.

You'll get most of that MPG back once the car is tuned. I personally get about 20 city and 27 highway. Driving habits really affect it though. You and I have the same set up so I totally understand the noise. You'll get use to it lol.

Yeah so I guess the next thing is a tune at this point I'm gonna need it lol, alright yeah it's loud but I really think it's the motor mount that's causing most of the noise, it doesn't sound so bad now after the 3 day of installing it. Man I should get an aeroforce interceptor gauge to see the exhaust level of my car now lol

Interceptor gauge question?

Wow I see, yeah I'll have to go for that then, I also just invested in a interceptor gauge for my car, Does it really clear codes like what I've been hearing? will it clear the 4020 code or the cat low efficent code?

The P0420 will simply return if you "clear it". The car basically thinks the cat is being inefficient since its flowing a lot more than the stock cat. Simple fix when tuned. I use a Dashhawk instead of an interceptor.
