Nice. Definitely post some videos afterwards.
Will do! What's a used ZHP exhaust worth?

Extremely impressed. 1 Day delivery from ON, CA. Now I feel bad for trying to bargain hard with them over the exhaust.
Now, I have to wait two weeks until this is installed.

Magnaflow exhaust got installed today.
My initial impression of the exhaust is a much more rich deep tone at lower rpms. It is a nice upgrade over stock and probably what the ZHP should have came with to begin with. The exhaust is a bit louder, but not my much. On a scale of 1-10, I'd say a 6 (with OE being a 3). At high rpms, I am hearing a very small shriek. Given the exhaust wasn't welded, I most likely have a minor exhaust week. The shop told me to give it a week and if it's not resolved to bring it back. Depending on what they do when I bring it back, I'm going to have to try and move the exhaust just a tiny bit farther back so that it matches stock and doesn't melt off the diffuser.
I don't believe my shop had any issues getting it installed. I know Ryan had some issues with his install. Maybe MF changed the mounts slightly and/or hardware.
Quite happy overall. I will need to get an exhaust video soon. The only downfall of the install is that I broke my buddy's gopro (fell off the car and got run over). The camera is damaged but not totalled. The mount however is toast. So, I bought him a new one.
