UPDATE: Took about 3 hrs to uninstall OEM exhaust and install Heartthrob. After i took off the OEM muffler I fired it up to have a listen. NOT nearly as loud as i thought it would be without a muffler. My wife said leave it like that! LoL! Anyways, after the install i fired it up. Much to my suprise it was no way as loud as I thought it would be. Barely louder than stock. So I took it out on the freeway for a test. VERY LITTLE drone and only at 25-3K rpm. I really can't believe it's this quiet. Now I can hear the turbo whine. My wife took it for a spin and she says it's faster, I can't really tell though. My rhino ramps don't allow me to get under the car very much so i'm not so sure all pipes are together as much as possible. The passenger side tailpipe sticks out about 1" futher. I'm postive this is because i could not get the pipe fully seated. I'm gonna take it to a exhaust shop and have them loosen and go over it again. Shouldn't take them but a 1/2 hour to do this. Other than the turned up tips,(i'm not so sure i like that style) I'm quite satisfied with the sound & fit. A downside is the spare will be a bitch to get to quickly. That's what AAA is for though. I REALLY like how you can hear the turbo spool now best of all. On a side note. I now know why the SRT-4 has no mufflers. My system consists of 1 resonator & 2 resonated tips. So does the SRT-4. So for being longwinded but i'm excited because i've never installed ANYTHING that went this EZ. Peace Out!

Glad all went well with your install Kevin. When I installed mine the one pipe was longer also. Once I got it back where it belonged, it was fine. I kinda like the upswept pipes.......I think the Prowler has the same look. I also like the fact that I didn't have to notch out the body to accomodate the right side exhaust. Enjoy!!

off topic: I have noticed in the past that a lot of condensation leaks out the tailpipe. As I had the car up on the ramps, condensation was leaking out of the midpipe also. A steady flow, drip, drip, drip so to speak. As i unhooked the pipe about a few tablespoons ran out. I think that is a lot but i guess it is normal. Even the tailpipe has a hole drilled in the bottom to let this stuff leak out. I see the need for Stainless Steel now...FYI...

back to you Bob... LMAO!

Way to go Kev! I've already received the orders to leave the exhuast alone on the 30 when it comes. I have the Mopar Performance cat back system on my 01 LE. more power, dual tips but plenty of drone!

Cruise on!
