litesoarer - I'm fresh out of samples. But ... you're running the muffler delete & J-pipes now? I'd have to believe mine would be very very quiet compared to that set-up. I'm assuming yours is very loud.
And if you have a full muffler delete, you'd have to put the mufflers back on, to use my Vents as intended. I think that would require a lot of work on your part. Am I wrong about that?

Putting the mufflers back on would only require me cutting the current set of pipes at the weld point and cutting a new piece of pipe to the mufflers which would be reattached.
Easy enough to do as I've been looking to cut down on the part throttle noise.

I had a severe drone on my SRT Charger (SLP after market cat back) that it was painful to drive on the highway because of the drone....... I installed a "engineered" cat back made by Corsa and it is great sounding and drone free.
I am anxiously waiting for reviews on these exhaust vents.

@ 7milesout , I am pleased to see you're moving forward with this.
I find it's simplicity and subtle change from OEM very appealing.
It seems you've put a good deal of thought into this and designed
a product that caters to those like myself who are very hesitant to
drastically modify something that's been engineered as meticulously as our LS.
I'll be looking forward to it.

GR6RR - You are actually #2! I was PM'd a few days ago! Do me a favor, PM me.
Copy / Paste the below into your PM to me:
Anybody else, can follow suit if you care to. I will communicate to your email address(es) before I make a move, to confirm you're still down with your Pre-Order. I'm not going to surprise anyone.
I'm not sure how to take payment ... as I've not done so before. Any suggestions? I'm all ears.
@Chuck: I believe roadfrog only had his mufflers off (and drove it like that) when replacing his old corroded mufflers. As I recall, he only drove it a day or 2 and put his new mufflers on.
@AlexBrick: You've hit the nail on the head, and stated it elegantly. I like litesoarer's set-up. I bet it sounds AWESOME. But it's not something I would want to run every day. Maybe only to some kind of event, where most cars would be expected to be loud, and that would be it. If I drove it to work like that, I'd have a lot of people going, "Why?
"
My set-up, you can still "drive it to church," or drive into a campground after dark and NOT have campers hating you.

I use paypal for transferring, sending and collecting payments.
If you send as a gift, I believe there is no fees, just need to trust who you are doing the transaction with...
Sent as payment for a product, you as the receiver will have to pay some percentage.
I'll send you my info in PM shortly.
2nd 1st.. who cares hahaha let's get this rollin!

I'll second Paypal. They make these sorts of things relatively painless and add a degree of protection for the buyer AND the seller. After that I'd recommend e-transfers through banks online.
With respect to my muffler delete....yes. I removed the mufflers and tailpipes. It was for a few days while I waited for my days off to replace them due to rotting.
I've heard that deleting the resonators and leaving the muffs and tailpipes on can render a nice sound. Any comments?

I got a small video inside the car going full throttle. I plan on getting some exterior video soon.

I don't know the sound, so I make no comment there. Might be great, might not. But it would CERTAINLY be more difficult & costly than my Exhaust Vents.
litesoarer - Is that video with the resonators removed and straight piped?

Well.....I just got a message from my shipper/receiver in Sumas WA. Looks like my parts arrived! I'll drop across the border after work tonight and pick them up. I'm off Friday Sat and Sun, so I should have them installed pretty quick. Stay tuned!

Got the package yesterday. Right off the hop, I can tell that this is quality. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was certainly pleasantly surprised that the pieces are top-notch. No, 'I made these in my mom's basement', appearance here. LOL.
I'm looking forward to installing them.
