I am glad some people are not having issues with the clamp, but IMO I would get it welded to save some potential future problems.
+1

I actually just installed the sysem and took my time doing it. I torqued everything down to maximum strength and then took her for a test drive.

OH My GOD... :SHOCKED:
This thing really roars. And the soundclips really don't do it justice.
You really have to hear, feel and experience this in real life.
It is a lot louder then I thought it would be but in a good way. It sounds very deep and when you It really screams. All I can say is WOW.

So far no exhaust leaks that I can detect. I will give it a few days and see what happens. I will still get it welded just for the piece of mind but for now I'll just enjoy it

Scale 1 -10

System Looks: 10+
System Sound 10
Ease of Installation: 8
Performance: 8 - As Steve mentioned it isn't dramatic but it is noticable. No hesitation off the line and it's much smoother all the way to the top. Definitely more pull in the mid to upper rpm range.

Final note: Well worth the money in my book. But if you want a quiet system look at the Greddy Sp2 or the APEXI WS 2 because this baby is many things but it ain't quiet
