Overall satisfied though with the $$$ spent...I mean, $310 for the kit w/ no muffler is pretty awesome...but you get what you pay for!

Sorry for the questions...
There was only one hanger that needed adjustment and that was the tailpipe hanger. It was bent the wrong way. As for rust issues, it's been on for close to six months (I think) and no rust issues yet. It takes a while for the heat to affect it. Overall, I can't complain for the money spent.

However, I had to put a muffler on mine. Too much drone for me. I had a 4" muffler laying around so that is what I have on it right now. I do have a 51" donaldson muffler on the way. Heard an '05 the other day with this muffler and it sounded great. Not too loud, but very deep.

Compared to straight pipe I gained spool-up.... Seems like the straight pipe made it a little to free flowing and doggy!!

I don't know I don't have the 41 but if they are naming them off of lengths then I would assume it's around 41"???
