i have it on my 06 type S. power gains arent that noticable but damn it sounds good. its deep and crisp. not really raspy at all. did you get hte sound clip off of hksusa.com? if so check it out. problem with the catback is the way the muffler is offsetted. its slanted(i like that) but it slanted so where it kinda burns your bumper.

shorty gives u about 5% of the power a race header does and all u need to do is make a defouler for the secondary o2 sensor. cost like 20 bucks
