JRE installed today

Well I have to say that I am very pleased with the JRE 4" exhaust. The installation took right at 2.5 hours at a custom muffler shop due to problems. The exhaust from the turbo to the muffler was not a issue at all. The problems occured from the muffler back. It was almost impossible to use the factory hangers with the part supplied. The exhaust with the bent exit tubes installed would not allow the exhaust to run straight back. It was either on top of the drive shaft, too close to the rear leaf spring, or not straight so that the factory hangers could be used. This was by no means a easy install. I ended up having the muffler shop weld customized brackets on and well the pipe from the muffler back because the clamps would not work without throwing the muffler to far one way or the other.

It's installed now and I am please. Just not as was stated from everything that I read and researched.

Still happy though:
