Hi this is Ryan, the guy who ordered the T1R 63. Here are some pictures.
The tip burned a nice little crescent in the bumper and is now resting exactly where it wants to. This doesn't bother me, but I'm concerned about how the exhaust is resting on the rear strut bar. As you can see, I padded the area with fiberglass/foil exhaust tape and used two hose clamps to hold the pipe to the strut bar to stop it from bouncing. However, I love the wait it looks and sounds and I've had compliments from people on the road. Some have asked who makes it.
The sound level is somewhat louder than stock. At idle, it is almost completely silent with a soft distant rumble you can whisper over. At full throttle, it sounds like a tuned drift car with the volume turned down. Best of all, there is no drone at 60-75 mph on the freeway and very little after that. Since I ordered the 63mm resonated test pipe, I have two resonators and a muffler on otherwise straight piping.

The exhaust should not be rubbing against that bar in the last photo you provided. Do you think you shoot some photos of the exhaust from under the car, I would like to take a look at the exhaust.
You can send the photos to info@aj-racing.com. I'll see what I can do to help remove this problem.

I'm stuck deciding between the 63S sparrow and the 70R sparrow. Does anyone have the noise level readings on the 70? Does it drone at all? If I ran a high flow cat instead of the TP would the midrange be less affected? Love Love Love the sound of the 70R

The 70 sparrow isn't bad w/ the silencers in but without them it is pretty loud, at least in the car.

Does it drone without the silencers? During highway/street driving (crusing between 3k-4k), would I still be able to have a conversation in the car? Do you drive with or without your silencers?
