'Sport' exhaust finally done 200

After driving with a broken under-axle pipe for a week(ie:annoyingly LOUD), this system is a breath of fresh air. I purchased all of the components from FCP which they promptly shipped, as usual. When the parts arrived, I cleaned them up with a solvent and sprayed them with Duplicolor 'Hi-Temp' flat black spray paint. Once the paint dried, I loaded everything into the car and drove to a local Midas to have the intermediate pipe fabricated and the entire system hung. Midas didn't disappoint and had the car done in a few hours.
I must say that this 'sport' system is quieter than I anticipated(...which is a good thing since it won't attract unwanted attention from local law enforcement OR my Wife). Like others have said before, there is a nice, quiet rumble @ idle and most of the audible difference occurs after 3500 rpm. I haven't had a chance to really "drive around" with it yet, but so far I'm very satisfied with the sound and Ansa-like appearance of my new system.

BTW - The total cost(parts, installation, and paint) came to about $216.00, which is about the price I would have paid if I opted for the IPD set-up alone w/shipping. I'm sure I could have saved more $$ if I installed it myself.
