I’m using the app (iOS) and I can see anything being delivered to me and Gibson Performance Corp just came up a few hours ago with a delivery date of Saturday.

Didn’t get an email or nothing, just randomly checked my FedEx since I’m also expecting my aFe intake this week from Lethal Performance.

Gotcha. Yeah nothing from my end. Even tried chatting them. I think because it’s coming from Gibson themselves they don’t have much info.

Yeah it is, it'll come straight from Gibson. AutoAnything is just the middle-man taking the order and getting a cut. I'm just glad Mine is finally shipping lol

UPDATE

Just got an email from AutoAnything and sure enough it confirms it, my order has been shipped.

Lucky! That’s awesome though. You can let me know how the install goes. Remind me again when you ordered? I’m pretty sure we ordered within a day of each other. I’m hoping I’m not waiting till the 12th.

Just chatted them. They think maybe different fulfillment center? Who knows. They sent out a status update request. I guess from Gibson. So we’ll see what they say. I live in Maryland. What about you?

It shipped!! Now I really gotta decide about installing myself vs shop. I don’t have a shop so not good relationship. But when you call, do you just ask how much to install an axleback exhaust? Not sure how business these exhausts shops get as elective jobs vs other needed jobs.

I would Google bel air md exhaust shop. Just a quick look you have a number a shops with great reviews. You could try calling a couple and see what they say. Good luck.

Thanks will do that tomorrow. It’s funny the one shop my family takes all their cars to showed up. I had no idea they did exhaust work but I guess it’s a regular mechanic shop so not that surprising. Will give them a call.

Why did you paint? Did you get chrome tips? First impressions? Video sounds good. Actually saw it browsing YouTube lol

Yes I painted it with VHT Flamethrower flat black and no I bought the black tips. I just painted the pipes/mufflers. Looks better in all black in my opinion.

Ok gotcha. Makes sense. How’s the sound overall to you? We listen to all these videos and I’m just curious how real life compares.
