Thanks. After I got the muffler free of the other piping and had more wiggle room it came off. WD-40 spray silicone helped out a ton also.

Mine showed up early today. I bought some new crush gaskets at Napa for about 3-4$ each.
Anyone else put theirs on yet? I'm curious if my impressions are consistent with everyone else's.
Mine showed up today also, but probably will not have time to get them installed for the next couple of weeks.
Heres some interior SC w/ windows rolled up

too quiet for me...i dont hear it at all...does not sound like V8
and stock sounds like a v8? Its all a small v8 at that, with the windows down... its loud enough IMO
I can promise you that mine, with DT headers, is not quiet. Mine sounds very similar to my dads GT350 mustang with headers and magnaflow exhaust.
Though, it is probably much quieter with stock exhaust manifolds.
Looking forward to hearing it a SCC. I would like to upgrade my exhaust since I have the DT headers already. When are you getting there?
My cat-back showed up Tuesday - looks great! Now to get gaskets and find time to get it installed.
Speakers really don't do it justice. It is plenty loud, trust me. Like I said it is not a subtle change, but I don't feel it is excessive at the same time. For those of you with steel in the rear and more specifically, BIORs, I snapped a photo showing the exhaust clearance in regards to departure angle. Its as if the DT Cat-back was made for this bumper as it sits perfectly flush with the frame/bumper. I took the hook off and have no concerns that the frame wont protect it. This is the "bolt-on" version of the BIOR rear.
nice....exactly how I want my pipe to sit
Where were these last year
Of course we now have two options for cat back systems, as I put in a Borla last summer. Would have liked to look at these two set-ups before I went with the Borla.

we need some dyno #s. to compare with EMS
Would have been nice if EMS did a 4 wheel dyno as RobRed seems to be the most likely candidate to get a DT that already has a baseline dyno to compare it to. If I recall, he used a 4 wheel dyno to get that baseline. It's going to be difficult to get a like-variable comparison for the two exhausts. Who ever does it will:
1. still need to have their stock exhaust
2. still need their stock headers
3. drop their front drive shaft
With these things in mind this endeavor will not likely be cheap or easy for rob (or anyone with DT headers already installed). The header install for me, at least, was a 10-12 hour job.

The Borla sounds nice, it is louder in back and stays quiet at low RPM, but develops what I think is a nice V* sound with a little skinny pedal. I have the DT headers also, and the Borla seemed to add some ooomph when i put it on. One thing though, the Borla setup (allegedly catback) is actually front of muffler back. I had to buy the crossover pipe from the Drivers side rear cat to the DS intake on the Muffler. The quality of the stainless was quite impressive, and when I had a tailpipe issue wit clearance they were quite accommodating.
