The first wave of GB orders have all shipped out...
More inventory for Carson is being prepared this week for them to keep in stock..
You can give your name & # to Luis and I am very sure he will be happy to hold one for you..
or Buy it now and your system will ship as soon as it arrives to Carson (like a pre-order)

We finally received and updated BOX for shipping.. We were temporarily using the IS-F exhaust box, but there was just too much space in it..
The NEW box will weigh approx. 45-48 lbs once fully packaged & sealed.
The NEW box dimensions will be approx. L-48, W-26, H-11
Best Regards,

ok, I purchased the Joe Z PTS exhaust and had it installed. Sounds AMAZING- on the outside but inside I get SERIOUS exhaust drone between 1500 - 2500 RPM when cruising. This is normal range of my daily drive to work cruising at 80 mph @ 2000 rpm. The drone is making me think twice about keeping the exhaust BUT when I hear it outside or the great comments when driving away, I'm torn.
Any advice to get ride of the drone? Been looking into "side branch resonators". HELP!

So far, this is what I have read regarding wrapping the exhaust...
"...To eliminate the drone, or reveb noise you hear at certain rpms at neutral or trailing throttle, a mechanical modification will have to be done. Additional baffeling or a sound absorbing material will have to be added internally. This would require cutting the system open, making some changes and welding it up again. This sort of thing is a trial and error process and can be time consuming and expensive. Not practical for the average individual."
Any other ideas??

So I went to a few muffler shops and they all have stated to use an 18" muffler instead of 14". The PTS exhaust seems to be a magnaflow muffler of 14" size. Trying to decide what to do???
