i like the way it looks and sounds, felt some increase in power over stock

Other

the resonator on my exhaust blew out after about 4 months worth of driving. it got to the point where the resonator was actually spinning in place. i say it was worth it only because i got it for free. if i would have actually paid money for it, i would be very displeased at this point. to rememdy the resonator problem, i had a muffler shop cut it out and replace it with a straight pipe. once it was cut out, you could see that the resonator actually shrunk down to about 1.5" on the inside (the rest is 2.5"). not sure what 5Zigens reasoning was for this, but i see that as a fairly significant restriction. overall, i have heard of no other problems with the exhaust except for what i have had. only thing i can suggest is to make sure you get some kind of warranty if you purchase this exhaust.
