Love it!!

No more tailwagging.. No more waiting for the rear end to catch up. No more snap oversteer..

The LCA's are pretty easy.. It took me a lot longer because some of the bolts were seized.. Once I got them out it was cake!!

The PHB is another story.. MAKE SURE your tailpipes follow the factory exhaust routing or you're running dumps otherwise you WILL have issues. If you like, dynomax sells tailpipes for our car that will work with the PHB. I had to use them on my magnaflow setup.

Also, be prepared to spend an afternoon or two.. Have a helper and be patient. It's well worth it!!

Sorry, no pics.. My car is laid up with the engine out for a bit, so until I can get the rear end in the air....

The issue with the tailpipes is how they are bent over the axle and around the gas tank. The magnaflow pipes I had came down too quickly over the axle and wouldn't let the PHB mount to the frame.

I love the MM PHB & LCA's..It made my rear end grip like crazy around the turns. & the LCA's give u a nice solid launch. Install was a bit of a pain since we didnt have a lift & especially the Catback issues...These pics were when I still had the stock exhaust...Cant wait to finally get my torque arm & coilovers in soon!!!

Agreed,
Made a huge improvement in rear end grip. No more waiting for the rear to settle coming out of corners. Wish I had done this years ago.

There is:

1) Ditch the tailpipes and goto dumps..

2) Buy the dynomax tailpipes..

You have to take into consideration that 'dumps' is not a legal exhaust exit, you will fail inspection if you have them in your area
