Default Thermal catback pics???

Can anyone post pics of a thermal catback on a 5th gen lude, im looking into cat backs and have narrowed this down as one of my choices, i am just worried about how low it hangs.

Any other suggestions and pics welcome

thanks

who has got a good recommendation for the quietest catback available, with a decent free flow design

i really dont like my car being loud, but im at the point now with my mods that i am losing a LOT of potential due to my stock exhaust.

E-mail me and I can send a couple of shots. MEantime-it is a perfect fit under the rear and actually looks stock except for the polished finish on the muffler and tips. There is a ton of room above compared to the stock muffler. The rest of the system fits the stock locations and harware perfect as well. We love it!

The Thermal on our 99 BASE is about 6dB louder in the cabin than stock. Keep in mind that it is designed to have a sound of its own. The "drone/rumble" under the car becomes pleasing as it breaks in. Took about 1500 miles to fully bed it in. We travel for hours at a time with the stereo only a few clicks higher than without the Thermal and NO problems talking, listening or driving along. If the engine is run wide open it does NOT sound like certain other exhausts (ie 'fart can'). From the standpoint of police - no problem at all.

Amazing-sort of like a Ferrari-but not the same. I know, it is hard to describe, it is simply a very nice sound even at WOT.

If someone wants to host them-I'll upload.
