OK, so it's been a month since the exhausts were shipped out to their excited new owners and we've seen very little feedback or videos. The hype seems to have died off, are they not what everyone was expecting? From the videos I've seen, they sound amazing!

Maybe the new owners can give some feedback or post some of their own sound clips as I'm sure there will be some variation on set ups.

I'll give you my feedback, I can't stress it enough how awesome these sound. I only have the stock noise to compare it to since that it what I was previously using. Accelerating / driving around at below 2k revs you can barely hear it which is exactly what I want because I do daily drive my F and when I drive to work I'm just cruising. When you rev past 2k revs though then you start to hear it and it sounds amazing. This is without headers; I do plan on getting headers this month so I'll post a new video of the sound after the headers install.

I have no idea how much power it gains since there's isn't a place with a dyno near me and I do have the numbers from stock. But overall, the exhaust was really easy to install and it weighs considerably less than the stock exhaust (yes I didn't weigh it, but it feels it weighs less). I'm really sorry for not having any actual numbers because my testimonial is probably not helpful but I was super excited when I got it and I just wanted to get it installed asap lol. The tips that are supplied are slightly smaller than the stock tips on the rear bumper so I just reused the "fake" tips because I like them better. In the future I do plan on getting an aftermarket rear bumper and then getting the tips powder coated in a glossy black color. It's only a matter of not having the funds currently.

With headers your car will sound just like mine!!

Where are you getting your headers?

Thanks for the feedback and glad to hear you're enjoying it!

I liked the idea of black exhaust tips but before I had them powder coated I wanted to see if I liked the look. I plastidipped them which I know is not the same but it gave me a rough idea of the color contrast as I also have Obsidian. It gave the car an aggressive look, which I liked, but it took away the most prominent feature of the rear. I gave it a week to see if it grew on me but I ended up going back to chrome, which I don't regret. I think black tips would stand out more on any other color but in my opinion it was just lost amongst the black bumper.

Just my 2 cents

I know the round tips they offered weren't all that attractive, but are the exhaust outlets placed in a position you could get a sexier round tip like what Greddy offers?

As in I might call Greddy and see if they sell their tips :P
