I am pretty dissatissfid with the looks of the exhuast. The last aftermarket exhuast I bought was a Nismo exhuast for my old 350z (i miss that car). That thing looked awesome, then I get and open the the TRD exhuast and was thinkin wtf is this?
I wanted this one because of he TRD name and performance background. I also like the side exit tip (which i know others offer but I think it looks good). I also like how my coworkers taco sounds with the TRD exhuast.
as for the install, I started it and realized the muffler/rear pipe is a biotch to get off. the bolts that connect it are welded to the flange, those things are not budging. I am trying to get at it from above but there is no room. I am waiting for my reciprocating saw to come in. I am going to hack that P.O.S. Other than that it should be a a super easy install. I played around with it while I was under the 4r the hangers were no problem to ge off/on, and the cat/muffler flange connection is really easy to remove.
I am looking forward to wrenching a bit. I would love to do headers next (not sure if that will happen or not htough) , and a bodylift (but I am afraid that my 4r will not fit in the parking structure at work as I am real close right now with my bike racks up top.
