Kakumei exhaust Mini review and install

I just bought a kakumei exhaust yesterday. I met Mark and Tori very cool guys(BTW, nice car Mark) I got the 1 with the titanium tip. This is one of the best looking exhaust ive seen, the welds look BEAUTIFUL!! and as promised, i have taken pictures of the exhaust when opened and after the install.

Review:
Fitment is PERFECT, came with all hardware (nuts, bolts, gaskets, hangers). NO leaks.
Very nice sound. Has that deep rumble, but still a lil quiet(running stock DP for now) planning on buying the Catless DP from Mark some time next week.

Also, i was told that kakumei has made products for helix and titek, but not sure they did any more companies..

Specs:
-3" stainless steel cat-back
-4 1/2" TITANIUM TIP
-Perfect fitment
-TIG weld
-Mirror polish
-Excellent Price

Now for the pics..

This pic is to show how far it sticks out from the bumper...


I wanna thank mark for selling me the exhaust, very convenient location too(located in town). He has many more parts for sale, if you need parts,give him a call(if you have his number), if not just PM him with what parts you want from the list.
I will try to make a lil vid of what the exhaust sounds like when i have time.
