I've played around a bit with my exhaust. Borla's then straight pipes. Stock cats a off-road X pipe. If you want a great sound.....stock cats with straight pipes. Simple and Cheap.  as far as rattle goes, check the clearance between the pan-hard bar and the exhaust. It's a tight fit around the rear axle. Other than that you could check the exhaust hangers for clearance between hook and rubber/brackect.  Sweet]

And .. How did you adjust the Stingers to be aligned perfectly? Mine is sitting a bit low.

Loosen the mid-pipe clamps and over axle clamps.  Have a helper align your tip within the bumper cut-outs (in, out, centering.. it's all adjustable), then tighten the over-axle clamp, then the mid-pipe clamp last.

Did you have to do a tune with the new h pipe so it does not set off sensors?  And if so, how is it done?

If you already have a tune from brenspeed or most other places for that matter, your O2 sensors will be turned off already.  if you don't have a tune I suggest you get a CAI/Tune first then worry about mid pipes.  JMO

Another option is to get a set of MIL Eliminators.

I got a guy in Boynton Beach that owns a exhaust shop that make custom h-pipes for any car. He only charged me $80.00 to make one for my 06

Anyone know what size socket I need to remove the down-pipe to exhaust manifold? I know it's gonna have to be a deep socket but what size? I'm using Taco Bill's write up to plan my O/R Prochamber install. I wanna have everything on hand before getting under the car and not have to run to the auto parts store to get the right socket size. Thanks!

I believe 15mm or 16mm but I cannot remember.  Someone else might know for sure.

Thanks for the replies on the socket size you guys! One more thing...Will I need new gaskets for the exhaust manifold to down-pipe or does it not have gaskets?

no gaskets! you're good to go. one more thing....do make sure you use anti seize on the manifold studs so it'll make future switches easier.  getting them to break loose can be a b****!  pm if you have any trouble....
