Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! I've been lurking around quite a while now. I was hoping to have the exhaust bolted on by now but FedEx has delayed me 3 times already...arrghh! Hopefully will get it soon. Put in some floor leds in the meantime this evening! Gunna take pics soon.

Got the exhaust on today. I can say I'm satisfied w/ the classic Stingers. I was worried about drone at highway speeds, but the only drone I can describe is at low rpm in town, like 15-20 mph. It's almost quiet at 70 mph. Its not really bad then, even stock it had a bit of a roar at idle in gear. Sounds great when you get on it!
