Well I finally was able to have my exhaust completed and it was well worth the wait. I took the car to Jak Stoll for fabrication and installation and here are some snaps of the trip up to the dreaded "Black Mountain, NC".
The drive up Black Mountain is an ominous one...
You can sense the ghosts of Saabs who have perished here...
At the top of the mountain I find Jak's place to have some great mountain views...
I brought the 2 Borla mufflers and dual 3" chrome tips with me...
The downpipe is a work of art...
And of course the view from the rear...
Workmanship is of course top notch. Full stainless with lifetime warranted mufflers mean I never have to deal with the exhaust again. The sound is great. As quiet as stock when cruising and a nice throaty moan when you open it up. From behind it definately lets you know something serious has passed you but inside the car it is not obtrusive at all. Boost is held all the way to redline now with no fading. Feels like I picked up 15hp easily in the upper rpms and it runs smooth as butter with the stage 1/2 software and minor intake mods.
