Its not sad my friend... We just took a little extra time to release it..
Those who do not have an exhaust, now have another option to upgrade too..
Trust me their are lots of members still running stock exhausts..

Yes, you can basically make anything custom like yours, but we have worked out all the issues you can or may encounter..

Also, to say its basically like the Borla is like saying every axle back exhaust or sway bars or springs or any other aftermarket modification for our cars... are basically the same... which they are Not...

They have their own design, build quality and specifications..

Thank You

I guess its a matter of opinion, which you have the right to state ....

If you look into both the versions offered, you will see the major differences in design and build specifications..

Both systems we offer are a direct bolt on replacement..
NO modifications required to the OEM system.

Joe Z, not to get off-topic, but how about making an intake manifold? Your designs and quality always look like you put some thought behind it. The stock one looks like it came off of a Chevette.

Huh?! Our intake manifold looks pretty damn awesome to me, and it's composite, so it doesn't suffer nearly as bad from heat soak.

Im pretty sure I saw a video of the Borla system doing the ricer popping noises at the top end.... This system was a clean roar the entire time. Thanks JoeZ.

If you plan to get Mazzuri headers, you'll regret getting the race version of this exhaust. The soot from not having any cats will drive you insane if you care about your car being clean.

hey joe-z, i know you used an x-pipe because it showed previously to provide the largest gains. but did you test this yourself, creating your exhaust w/o an x-pipe vs. one with one to gauge the differences?

at the same time your argument holds that no performance part is the same across manufactureres, an x-pipe in one exhaust might or might not be the reason for a higher gain than another one.

I do care about my car being clean but I dont really mind the soot, my DC2 was raced out running a full race header back to a 3in, and yes a 3in makes power on a Honda. Its been argued over and over already so please dont say anything everybody and yes I do plan on the Mazzuri headers!
