Default Armytrix exhaust installed

Title kinda says it all. Today I got my armytrix exhaust installed. I wanted to share the first start up video with you all.

Next on my list will be getting the calipers powdercoated in a crimson red, wheels in a deep gunmetal, RS-R springs, and some spacers...until my Rohana wheels come in. Ill also be going with the sublt "Toms" carbon fiber pieces, around the car. Kinda the "go to" parts, for this car. I usually go pretty crazy with my cars but Im trying to keep this one a bit more toned down. The design of this car is already very unique. I dont want to ruin the body lines or alter them.

If any of you want to get more sound clips out of an Armytrix exhaust, check out the video I made with mine:

A few updates on the car. These prices are so new to me, a little bit of sticker shock but I still followed through.

Im personally always curious about what people pay for things so I posting the price for people like me, that want to know but never ask.

Placed my order for the 4 piece Artisan Carbon kit ( Side and front splitter, rear diffuser, and duck bill spoiler), 4+ month wait incoming! After tax it ran about $8300

RSR springs ordered and fingers crossed they will be in in about 2-3 weeks.
Springs were about $800.

I also ordered 25mm spacers at motorsport-tech.com. I had to get them made since Project Kics is out of stock and H&R doesnt make them.
Spacers were pretty normal price. $90 per spacer.

Ive got a date set for powder coating my calipers in gold and my wheels in a deep gunmetal. The wheels are 21" so they run about $200 per wheel and the calipers are around $150-200, with the size difference from front and back.

Oh and I also got the "Ti tips" for my exhaust. I made the mistake of getting the matte black ones, assuming I was going to go full jet black for the car but decided Im going to keep it white. Expensive mistake, costing about $780 for new tips...

Thank you for pricings these mods out for us. I agree, it is a bit of a sticker shock. Some of your quotes are for parts…But you didn’t give us any idea how much it will cost to have these parts installed. Are you a DIYer? If so, then it is definitely gonna cost us a WHOLE lot more.

Very true, the install cost will bump it up. The Artisan kit will be a DIY at a friends shop so it wont be hard, being on a lift. Since the kit is just bolt on and no real alterations or prep work, The springs will most likely be a $350-400 install job, going off past install experiences. Spacers are quick and easy. The powder coating, those costs are parts and labor. The kit would probably run about $500 install, if you used a reputable shop. It might take them 3-4 hours at $125-150/hr. I mean, you definitely want a reputable shop to handle carbon fiber!

Who did the "dechrome" of the front grille and tail lights? How much did that cost?

is there any way to make our exhaust have a bit more burble? i really miss the lift off throttle burble that my maserati had before. Our exhaust note is very... technical, just wish it would burble a little bit.

You mite try to cut a V into the sides of a coke can, compress & stick that into your exhaust…Probably give you that extra burble you’re looking for with an extra helping of rat…tat…tat.
