I installed my Injen exhaust yesterday. The build quality, welds and pipe diameter and tubing thickness is top notch. I backed the Element up onto ramps and did the swap. It only took about 15 minutes going slow and carefully. The sound is good, deep down low and very quiet when cruising. It is actually a bit quieter than the stock exhaust with the resonator removed. I noticed slightly more power down low in the rev range. I also noticed a little more movement/sway of the Injen exhaust because it's noticeably heavier than the stock exhaust. This caused a little banging on the rear sway bar and muffler heat shield when driving. I bent the heat shield up a bit and I bought two more and doubled up the rubber exhaust hangers. I also had to trim a bit more plastic around the exhaust cutout on the rear bumper for good clearance on my 2010. I was mostly worried about it sounding too loud/obnoxious/ricery but it is very nice and none of those things. It will burn and smell bad for 2 days BTW.
