Indeed had my STi axelback installed at Meineke in Auburn today. I was there a total of 45 minutes. 15 waiting to get in. I had taken the mid pipe with me just in case. They held it up and said..."that doesn't fit". That started to worry me, but I talked to them and said that it would be a bit of a "custom" install, but Shorty had recommended their expertise. And I didn't really need the mid pipe. Then I think they kinda liked doing something slightly out of the ordinary. Two guys jumped on it cut the bolts, welded a different flange at the proper angle on the STi and hung it. Cost me $49.94, three hours driving down and back. I would have spent more time on it in my driveway and probably gotten frustrated trying to chase down a flange, get someone to weld it, etc.
I like the sound. It's just about right for an oldfart like me 8)
