That exhaust looks way clean. Do you have any more pictures of it all finished up.

You do not need the flex hose, our system is much lighter plus we are using the factory rubber mounts for support.

Can we upload the pics and info on our site?

Go right ahead. I also have some pics of removing the lower valence. I'll put those up tonight.

Having given it some thought, I think the flex pipe on the stocker is mainly so the flange can be lined up and installed quickly at the factory.

Couple replies from upthread:

* I weighed them both on the bathroom scale, which may not be so accurate that low.

* No videos, sorry.

* No more pics other than what's here and the valence pics below. I went ahead and cut out the notch for the tips out of the valence. No magic there: trace out the template with a black ink pen or marker, and cut with a utility knife with multiple passes, then clean up the edges with the knife blade.

* I like it a lot, although I do find it a bit loud for a 15+ minute daily driver. I'm going to play around with some silencers to quiet it down a bit and still be able to uncork it when I want.

Does "Stealth" = "Touring" ?

No, I think the stealth refers to the tips angling down so they don't protrude from the back of the car and you don't have to cut the valance.

The Sport and Touring are offered in either the twin tip design or the stealth version. The stealth is having a tip drop down behind the valance hidden from the outside. That way you can still mount a hitch if you want.
