The exhaust system that Delta sells is normally not a simple install, part of the problem is the non-standard nature of the Jensen Healey. With some cars, as Mitch mentioned, it goes right in, while other cars, like mine, not so much. I spent days installing it on my car and I agree, it's much too loud for my taste out of the box, not to mention that nothing seemed to really fit as well as I thought it should. I ended up taking the car to a custom exhaust shop (not easy to find these days) and they took it all apart and put it all back together, added a tiny piece here, cutting out a tiny there, inserting an extra, small muffler in front of the axle and welded it up. It took about 2 1/2 hours (they made it look easy, but they've been doing this for 20 years) and cost me about $380, but it's perfect now– that's the kind of stuff you have to do sometimes with an old, funky British car.
