I ordered my Vibrant cat back exhaust on sunday night, and I finally had time (and tools) to put it on yesterday. So far here are my impressions.

Quality-10/10. All of the welds looked nice, there were no dents or dings in the resignatior like some have had. Overall the exhaust material looks amazing!

Fitment-7/10. The exhaust lined up perfect, however there where a few problems. First, we had to bend the hanger on the muffler up, because it would not go on in the position that it was in, and if it did it would be rubbing on the bumper. Second, for some reason there was an extra hanger on the exhaust that was not used. It doesnt rub or hit anything, it is just kind of there lol. Third that damn clamp! I have a leak in the clamp, we tightned it as much as possable, but it was still leaking, not bad, but it is there.

Sound-9/10. First off, IMO, this exhaust is loud. Keep in mind I also have the R/T high flow cat, so that does increace the sound. The exhaust is louder than I expected it to be. I have heard people say that it is not loud, it is actually on the quite side, I have to disagree. While I have heard exhausts that are much louder, I would def. put the vibrant on the loud side. It does pop when you let off the gas also. But oh man does it sound amazing! Especially in vtec! OMG, I cannot describe it, it is awsome!

Looks-10/10. Very nice, almost stock look. No coffie can look. I love how clean the look of the tip is!

Performance-10/10. I feel like putting on this exhaust really showed the full benifits of the R/T high flow cat. The car pulls noticibly stronger in vtec, and I mean noticably! Also it seems to have gained a little in the midrange as well. But Vtec...........Oh man!!

On to the Pics....

Box,

Layed out in my room,

Muffler,

In Garage,

Stock Exhaust on car,

Vibrant Installed,

Sorry I have no videos of the car, all I have is a crappy camara phone video. In all honesty tho, my car sounds basically exactly like this this guys. He has the Vibrant header, with a cat. His and mine at least from what I hear in his vid. sounds just like mine does with the R/T cat. Here is the link,
