Ok so I'm not sure if this is the right section to put this in, but here goes anyways.
So I bought the megan racing dp and muffler and a catco cat.
When installing the dp, I also swapped over the o2 housing from my jdm engine but because where the dp bolts to the o2 housing has a slightly different angle.
I had to have the local muffler shop cut and weld the dp to make it fit right. Had I used the right o2 housing the dp would have worked (buddy put one on has talon in the last week).
Overall it's about 3 inches all the back with a few crush bends (i know i know)
I would highly recommend all the parts I bought, I spent 255$ on the physical parts and 230 on the install, so under 500 for a 3 inch turbo back exhaust isn't bad at all.
As far as the SQ goes, It is loud! It has a nice medium to deep sound but honestly I wasn't expecting it to be so loud.
As far as power increase, I can DEFINITELY feel the power increase (mods are 16g turbo, that's it). Spool time is better and the car feels quite a bit faster. The turbo power doesn't fall off as much as it did before...
I love the sound but I hope it doesn't get annoying.
If anyone wants any more info, let me know. I can take pics or whatever

That's only a 2 hr job max including your welding. So at your rate, your mechanic was charging you $115/hr!!
