i have a twin, so yeah tiny bed haha.

editing pics now and uploading a video clip to youtube

ok, so since i-club was not loading for me last night, here's a late post. i'm wondering if i should do a how to on scoobymods or something. it's pretty easy, i did it by myself in about an hour & a half total (getting tools out, putting them away, cleaning up blah blah).

if anyone is thinking of going for this exhaust, i say do it. it's really nice.

*so i guess sometimes the pics don't load in order, i'm sure everyone can figure it out.

so the first pic is the driver side hangers, you won't need these with the N1, so i just took them off and kept it with the stock exhaust, just in case.

check out that wimpy rear sway...

stock mid section, which for some crazy reason is a lot lighter than the axle back section.

where the mid connects to the cat. i used a 14mm box and 12mm socket, just cause it was easier to get in there that way.

stock muffler, heavy bastard.

rear shot, the hawtness

last pic, i had a bit of trouble with a leak here. since the invidia is a 3" all the way, it's not gonna bolt up perfect with the stock DP. all i did was loosen up the bolt, push up on the flange, tighten, repeat a couple times to find that sweet sealing spot, and no more leaks. i do plan on getting the invidia DP soon, just gotta save up enought for a cobb AP as well.

very nice...

Looks crappy IMHO, only good thing about it is the sound is nice in and out of the car :)

the sound is better in person. just curious, what don't you like about the way it looks? is it the whole angled muffler deal?

Yes it does not look as clean as the 02-07 angled exhaust do :p

Does it sound like previous year N1's? If you have heard one in person.

i haven't heard the N1 on the GDB, only the g200 and that sounded pretty nice.

Definitely sounds good. How loud/quiet is it? Comparable to other catbacks?

I have the same Invidia Resonated N1 on my STI. It has a very deep tone and I think it is one of the best sounding exhausts, but it is also pretty loud.

it sounds a little louder compared to the 5zigen i had on my bugeye, but not super loud like other cars i've heard around town (HKS, etc.). i guess it's quieter than i think, cause my room mate tells me he can't hear the car coming up the street till i get to the driveway. engine isn't broken in yet, so i haven't gone past 5k in the revs. i'll try and get some video after a few hundred more miles. do some drive bys & whatnot.
