i just hope the dealer fixes my car and it's done right . then i have to wait a few days or to be safe a week to make sure the code doesn't come back.
lol....

I can see I am gonna have a problem with that arrangement

you need to take yours to a dyno...run it stock and then add the program to see what the difference is.

How was the sound in the cabin?
Any idea if they'll post the interior sound with that muffler?

Sound in the cabin is ok. Honestly I think the cat back only with the factory downpipe will be pretty mellow.

With the 2 together it's deffinatley louder inside. I wouldn't call it a drone but due to the SUV characteristics it's very hard to avoid.

We tried a 5" round (3" core) muffler yesterday and while it did drop it 3db it made the frequency worse.(I removed it immediatley)

Gotta keep in mind that you're not expecting 40+ hp from "exhaust alone." It's... "exhaust which frees up the turbine to spin" that I would have expected more. Remember... the engine gets "bigger" at the top end of the RPM band in a way that NA motors do not.

I've got a much less expensive suggestion... since I've got the tune, people can pitch in and send ME the exhaust.

Maybe I missed it, but what's the price for this?? Are there 2 different part #'s for the cat-back vs turbo-back exhaust??

I think they have considered doing the non catted DP but until there is tuning readily avaliable you will have a problem with check engine lights.
No check engine lights if you erase the code with hp tuners. Thats what i did. I have a catless downpipe. I went through ADM and paid $599 for a full 3" turboback
