I fired it up yesterday so I could hear it, smell it, take a Visual, Aural and Olfactory inventory. It smokes just right right through the header, right through the chamber/silencer join. luckily some smoke comes out the tailpipe. smells nice and rich. runs smooth as butter and sounds nice in spite of all the exhaust leaks.
I am actually really happy with it over all.
That pro taper bumper pad is so I can run over anyone that sells me a faulty leak tester without damaging the finish on my bumper.
