Shane what kind of muffler did you get when you ordered the dejon exhaust?
I got my exhaust today and everything went in alright however the oval muffler can't slip onto the end of the exhaust because they are the same size pipe. Mine is called SilverLine. I should have put everything together before putting on the system. Right now I am just running with the one bullet muffler and wow, loud! So when I took it out for the first time I passed the sheriff of the area and thought for sure I was going to get busted.
I called dejon and they said they just switch mufflers and he was sorry. He was going to refund the amount that it takes for a muffler shop to install it correctly. It is a good company and I still recomend it to people even though the muffler didn't fit.
So things I have thought of this exaust. It is really well built, all the welds and bends are done really nice. how it is held on there is by a rod going through the origional rubber pieces and there is a ring that goes over that rod. On the ring there is a hex little bolt that you tighten and locks on to the rod (pictures will come soon). However all the stock rubber brackets are not being used and it seems to me that this causes the exhaust to move more then it should. As I turned into the driveway i heard it clunking around a bit. I don't know what I should do about that yet. I am thinking though it might be the lack of the muffler and the bracket that the muffler hooks to. I want to take this to an autocross or a solo event and I am hoping that will work.
So I haven't ever run the car without a cat before. It kind of smells (not a lot) or is that the new exhaust tubing breaking in?
