I received my Volant G3 CAI and T-304 polished stainless steel cat-back exhaust system yesterday, and I got everything installed today. Everything fit perfectly. The stock exhaust came off in a breeze (14mm). After you take the stock exhaust off, you have to remove the rubber hanger hole(two 12mm bolts) closest to the y-pipe and then bolt on a relocation plate and then put the stock hanger on top of the plate. It's pretty easy to do. After that you need to connect the two y-pipe pieces with the clamp. Don't tighten is down just yet, just get it on there a little bit. After that, I got the y-pipe under my truck and slid the hanger into the hanger hole and then lined up the ends to the cats. I can see why some people think they that the y-pipe does not line up correctly, because mine looked off as well. The easiest way to get it on is to get it on one of the cats, and then wiggle and pull until you get it on the other one. Took me about 5 minutes to line both ends up correctly. I put the nuts on on the bolts and hand tightened so it didn't come off. After you have this on, you need to mount the muffler with clamps and using the factory hanger hole. Next, I removed the rear pipe hanger because it was too hard to be able to get both hangers in at the same time. I stuck the rear hanger into the removed hanger hole and bolted the hanger hole back on after I got the muffler completely into place. Again, don't tighten down on the clamps just yet. Now clamp down the rear muffler by feeding the rear piping above the rear axle. After the muffler is secured by the hanger with clamps in place, you can bolt the rear hanger back into place (two 12mm bolts). Everything should now be in place. Go back and tighten down the nuts by the cat and tighten all 3 exhaust clamps (clamps use 9/16") (y-pipe and both sides of muffler. I reused the factory nuts and did not use the bolts and nuts provided by Volant. When you first start it up, there is a nice deep roar that quickly quiets down to a little louder than stock at idle. When you floor it, it gets quite a bit louder than stock. At WOT, the sounds really comes alive. The thing I really like is there is no drone at normal cruising. At 60-85 mph, the exhaust sounds just like stock from inside the cabin, so this exhaust will definitely please those who want a quiet cabin when cruising. Pix are attached. Vids are now below also. I do have some more videos too- I'll upload later.
Pic1 shows the packaging the exhaust and intake (and Nissan Titan hotwheels!).
Pic2 shows how the exhaust was packaged in the box. Everything arrived perfect.
Pic3 shows the Volant exhaust -the pipe that is still in bubblewrap is not used. It is only used if you want to use the factory y-pipe. To use this, you need to cut after the factory y-pipe, then stick this pipe in there and use the extra clamp provided.
Pic 4 and 5 show the stock exhaust and Volant exhaust side-by-side.
