No unbearably loud bass resonance with the top up at 3-3.5k RPMs? I just swapped out a T1R 70EM Dual after only three weeks for a Mugen for several reasons, but I don't think I could have lived with it long term for fear of losing my low frequency hearing.
This is a world of difference. I'm shocked how quiet it really is.

Here is my solution to the left-rear-rebound-adjustment-clearance issue.
Glue has dried, and it works! I also left it on the shock, I don't think it's going anywhere.

I believe it was a 5mm driver that had good enough grip on my Koni Yellow adjustment tab.

I bought one of these nut drivers and sawed off part of the handle to be short enough to fit in the trunk space but long enough to reach over the fuel line.

The narrow handle allowed it to go past the fuel line boot and rotate. Your solution is much easier to achieve.

Random1, I saw those pictures of your adjuster on some photo website and that gave me the idea of trying a regular nut driver since I didn't have any welding resources.
Dave, I used a socket set to verify the size of the nut driver needed before buying one. I'm not sure if the TC Kline Koni's have the same sized tab as the Koni Yellows.

I just finished installing a T1R 70RT EM ....It doesn't have any highway drone and the sound at it's loudest is in lower RPMs.

I just finished installing a T1R 70RT EM and I have to say this is the nicest exhaust I've ever seen. It shaved 41lbs off the back of the car and it's 70mm.... and here's the kicker, it's totally a livable exhaust. It doesn't have any highway drone and the sound at it's loudest is in lower RPMs. I just can't believe I can have my cake and eat it too. We're lucky to have light, free flowing, and quiet-ish exhausts available.

Thanks again for sharing that info, it will make quick adjustments much, much easier! This might need to be in the FAQ's for the Koni's (both stock and STR) as that left rear adjustment is horribly tight.
