Well, lets see if I can get it installed without other problems.

I just want to say that after installing my vibrant exhaust tonight I can honestly say that this is NOT a bolt on system, at least not if you don't want leaks. No matter how hard you tighted the clamp exhaust leak is still present. The clamp is the biggest waste of time, and the dumbest idea i have ever seen. I would say take the exhaust to a shop to have it done, and get the two non-flanged pipes welded. I did the install myself and now i have to get it welded anyway due to leaks from the clamp. Trust me it can't be done.....
That said even with the crappy leak the overall design, and sound of the system is amazing. Nice deep tone, not rasp at all, no drone at all at least not enough to matter. I am happy with my purchase, but i wanted to give a heads up to you guys who plan to install it yourself.
P.S. my resonator had dents in it too........:Mad:
