My Bazooka exhaust... you know u love it..
Well, here's my Bazooka guys, 
So day before my final final, the UPS man was supposed to arrive. I got up @ around 8 in the morning, did a little studying. But the fact knowing the exhaust should come anytime soon, I just hopped out of bed and jumped in the car, and... took the exhaust out...This was supposed to be my "break-time"
it's OUT...
looks kinda wierd w/o the exhausts in the back
So i was curious as to how the car would sound w/o exhaust... Started it up and and WOW.. all i gotta say is.. she turned from a innocent quiet looking thing to a beast... swear it sounds like a mini v8, no joke...
I took it around the block a few times, lol.. Disturbin the peace...
So I waited till 2PM and still no show.. I had to go pick up sis from Santa Cruz, so I jsut went ahead and gave up waiting on the UPS guy... picked her up, came back home and saw this!
opened it up and. BAM.. i was in love. lol
Went straight to installin the exhaust... finished at night time, ran around the blockk once, and sounded pretty quiet. Then went straight to the shower, studied...
So I woke up today and took these pics today.
I thought it wasn't gonna get any louder than the day before, but that took me by surprise, lol... shit's LOUD as hell in the low RPM's... crazy stuff... I drove to De anza and let it rip in the parking structure. lol..
So after I took the final, I didn't say ANYTHING to my buddies but they saw it while I was parked up there, took them by surprise, lol... I drove it around the parking lot and it wasn't too bad.. Let my friend drive it also since i was curious as to how it sounds w/o me in the car.. he drove around the structure and it wasn't really loud, at all.. So i was like, koo. Compared it to my friends exhaust (350z w/ agency). his was loud as shit... DTP all the way.. Then, we all head out to go eat to enjoy our meal at the Elephant Bar, and while driving over there, we stopped by an ATM machine and when we park, my friend comes out and tells me, HOLY SHIT that thing got hella louder,
.. I guess it's the way u step on the accel? lol.. anyways, i was a little sketch and was looking around for cops more than anything. lol
Then came back home and let my cuzzin listen to it. he said it's loud as shit as well.. lol.. After-all, it's nothing but mandrel bent pipes, no resonators, period.. go figure, lol..
Love this thing btw. U guys gotta hear this, lol..

I'm not a fan of the big 'ol canisters but I dig the sound of it.
It's the busiest time of the year for UPS so expect your deliveries to come later than usual. I was waiting for them on Wednesday morning but ended up waiting until the afternoon.
You should get some pullies or the P2R TB spacers next since it looks like you're going the performance route now.

It looks sick but as Hongda said, I too am not really a big fan of the big old canisters. But I really do like the look of it on your TL. Looks sick and congrats on the purchase? How much did it run you?
Oh yeah, and as for the whole "getting louder" part...I suppose it matters how you accelerate but also the exhaust has to break in and as it is doing so, it gets louder and louder. After a few days, you'll start hearing a consistent sound.
Nice purchase though!

i think the quality of the sound is more important. there are ricy Civics all around my area and they are loud as shit but dont sound nice at ALL. it sounded like there was something rattling in the exhaust...really bad
how was the quality of the sound without the exhaust? with the new exhaust? performance gains?

so you took a perfectly good car and turned it into a public disturburbing ricer...dont get me wrong, i like the look of the exhaust and all, but people who have aftermarket exhaust on their cars cant drive them without disturbing everyone in the neighborhood...

Looks great...mine comes today and will be put in tomorrow.
Looks-wise, it's perfect...fills the square holes just right. Sound-wise, we'll see, but I'm looking for it to be loud, so I don't foresee any problems.
The only thing that bugs me (just found this out yesterday and your pics verify it) is that I won't be able to put the stock exhaust in the GReddy box for storage purposes. Now I have to figure out something to do with it.

Also it was really loud going from the stock exhaust to the Greddy for you, I'm going from having my mid muffler deleted and a magnaflow resonator. It was a really dramatic change when I did that, so I'm sure it won't be a huge omg thats loud to me. Also I'm use to alittle drone from my current

Sweet fart-cans Donald!! 
...hehe, j/p.. that rear-shot looks mean. And the resonating sound will get louder since your ECU/Car needs to adjust to the improved air-flow..

can't wait for mine. I only have one concern I don't have a kit for my car yet. i'm concerned how it's gonna look. has anyone installed the catback on a TL WITHOUT a kit on it yet?

I can't wait to put mine on. How did you install it? Did you just use jack stands and crawled underneath to unbolt everything? I was thinking about taking it to a shop and let them install it for me since they have a lift and it would be a little more professional.
I'm just wondering what I'll be doing with the stock exhaust since I won't have a need for it any more.

^ I'd be lucky if I can find a shop that'll install it for that much.
