I also have the PV2 on my VX. It is welded on to the factory exhaust with about 12'' of added pipe. The sound was a little loud till I added a resonator tip last week. Now it's real mellow. The positive side is the 5 mpg I piked up on the road trips. I get 20-22 mpg depending on if I'm running my 31'' MTs or my 30'' ATs. Great pick-up. I also dropped a K&N filter in.
