Oh...well, you see...er...uh...damn it. Guess I'll just go back to the NWS forum since I'm still currently bike-less for the time being.

Later

Thanks. It's a pretty good pull once you get it over 8K. From what I know, this setup is more of the 'race' type and as such gives a bit of the midrange away to the top end. The prev-owner bought it for the bling and to be different... [shrug]

I've got the stock cans, so if I ever decide, I can sell the Jardine and put something else on. [again, shrug]

The look has grown on me. The more I look at it with the one pipe, the more I like it. I'm also willing to bet it's a huge weight savings over the stock or even an aftermarket (considering it is minus the one can) exhaust. The stock cans and headers feel about 45-ish pounds of weight. I'll bet the Jardine weighs in at about 18-22 lbs.


Edit:

Forgot...the most common description I get from people when I pull up is "That thing sounds beastly!". I think Chain (don't quote me) said it sounded like a Nextel Cup Car "on the boil". After watching GT Touring Championship this weekend, I reckon it sounds a little bit more like that instead.
