The sound clips you provided sound very good. Quiet, with just a little bit of, hey there might be something under that guy's hood, kind of sound that I personally enjoy. How much you guesstimate you saved on weight?
BTW, thanks for being the guinea pig on this!

Well the box shipped stated it weighed 65 pounds and it had at least a pound or so in packaging foam and the cardboard.

I wouldnt be surprised if the stock exhaust weighed 100 pounds. I can try to weigh it in my garage. I havent cut up the stock exhaust yet.

Im guessing 40 pounds or so. The stock exhaust is a heavy sob.

Not to mention all those nasty flat spots in the stock piping, and the resonator/third cat restricting a little flow, and adding even more weight to the pipes due to the packing.

gtmorgan- please make sure you contact obx and let them know about the misalignment of the exhaust tips. There's a chance they might be able to fix the issue in future runs of production.

That sounded nice, not at all what I expected. Still no loud drone? Did you have to get a new tune after install? Would love to hear a drive by getting on it.

I can not answer on the sound side, but no exhaust mod on the SHO requires a tune... it is recommended to get one with downpipes as you can slightly tweak some things for a little more power, and especially with catless pipes to get rid of codes/lights that you may incur.

So I guess I should say, no catback needs a tune on the SHO

That sounds really good.  It's not over raspy at all!!
