Nope, this is the first mod. I plan on adding a filter charger kit at the same time, but not sure which brand yet.
I wonder if I can expect any increase in HP with the exhaust?
With the filter and exhaust, should I need a re-tune?

Picked them up today. The guy says he's a forum member here, but I didn't bother asking what his screen name was due to the fact that his personality was so dry, he was almost to the point of being rude.
I can not stand interacting with people like that. Anyways....got them for $500, he had the receipt showing where they were less than a year old and physically, they're impeccable.
I'll get a video up as soon as I get them installed.

Congrats. I will post my sound check here as soon as I get it. I tried to do it today but the rains came right after lunch today in North Florida.

Granted I'm not "Mr. Sunshine" but, I did knock $50 off the asking price right off the bat since you were local and I didn't have to deal with shipping them.
Anyway, I hope they satisfy you by giving your car a good sound.

I would not bother with a Re-tune unless you add long tube headers.
Your air-fuel mixture is "RICH" from the factory. Adding a air intake, and cat back will lean things out a little bit. Not enough to warrant a re-tune for sure.
Once you add long tube headers your air-fuel mixture usually goes too "LEAN". You don't want a lean condition. You should get a re-tune then.

Sorry if our personalities clashed but, I usually respond as the situation presents itself. I'm pretty sure I started things off by complimenting your wrapped SUV and an admiration of your talent in doing that.

No need to apologize, unless you were rude on purpose. You just generally seemed pissed at the world, both on the phone with me and to my wife. And also, not wanting to give me your phone number thru email, which initially led me to believe the whole thing was Spam. Usually CL ads without contact info are. Add in the fact that you requested my number and refused to give me yours, you could consider yourself lucky that you made a sale.
You made me feel like I was bothering you. Maybe you just don't have a good attitude, and maybe we both took you wrong. And you didn't offer to knock anything off. I made the offer, you accepted it.
Regardless, no harm, no foul. I got what I wanted, you got what you wanted. Have a great day!

Cat backs never give much if any HP gains. Mostly they just give you a cooler sounding car.

brief soundclip. Pardon the degreaser flying off the tips as I had just previously cleaned off some burnt fuel. Also, my amateur video needs a little better tripod setup. An iphone setting on its side on top of a cooler wasn't quite stable enough and the exhaust blew it away lol
