Default Pics and Review of New Speed N1 Exhaust

I just picked up the car from the body shop (had the new vielside ver1 kit put on) and so ff2skip and I installed my new Speed N1.
Specs:
2.5 inch bent mandel pipe
4inch outlet
no resonator
no silencer

Impression: Same butt dyno as before....which is good. MUCH less drone, but deep and loud when you get on it. When driving, it sounds like any other dual exhaust, i.e not loud and droning. Installation was easy. The outlet is bigger than before but about the same as most other singles. It definitely looks better...all SS, polished. Another positive is that it fits better than the prior version and comes out straigher, not to the side like the other version.
Downside:
-no option for a silencer
-no nipples on the ends of the hangers. I am paranoid that they'll slip but they haven't moved so far.

Report back after a month. It will probably sound a bit different after it is broken in.

Ahh, found it

I didn't even notice the rear valence at first. Very clean.

I can't wait to hear the Speed N1 in the tunnel

tenblade, Can you describe the droning. I've been searching and searching... I have owned both the j's and spoon exhaust and sold both due to the constant droning. How badly does it drone and in what rpm range? Also, in overall volume wise is it louder or softer than the spoon or j's ( if you have heard them?)
