yea since you went with an aftermarket exhaust system...they generally dont come with new bearings. so more than likely you aren't running with any bearings. and thats can cause the sound and performance to not be very smooth

naw..more than likely they didn't install the bearings either because they wanted to save a penny. i would take your car to a place like autozone and have them check...if your car does have them then fantastic...if not, then they are only like 15 bucks. chump change practically

First bold is clearly why it's a war story.

Second is clearly why you should never post in the war stories
