Mine already shipped! Better hit maperformance ASAP if you’ve been waiting for months and haven’t ordered!

Thanks for posting this up. Just ordered mine! I was hoping for stainless but will happily take the Ti rather than wait. If anyone has a new stainless they'd like to trade for my Ti, let me know. I'm in the Dallas area.

I’m glad you got one, mine is being delivered today! No need to trade keep it. Just get some mother’s mag and aluminum polish and the burnt part will polish right off easily to a shiny finish. The good thing too is that if you ever want to burn the tips later you can do so easily. I had invidia TI tips before on my previous car and did this.

Sweet! That's awesome, never knew that. I'll do the polish before installing. Thanks!

Those that get the exhaust please post up on if it's damaged or not. I can speak from experience (still waiting) but FexEx/Currier destroyed the large box and the contents inside were badly damaged. Dented mufflers, mid pipe was bent to the point that it couldn't be used/installed...etc. I'm curious to see and hope that everyone does get one that isn't damaged. I do blame Invidia though, they could clearly package the contents better. As soon as one thing starts moving then it's getting flopped around and metal on metal banging around isn't good...

Also ya'll better not forget to post pics and videos for us!

It's here, box looks a little scuffed up but hopefully everything inside is good, time to check if anything is damaged.

Well it's installed and just from the drive back from the exhaust shop, it's safe to say, I am throughly pleased with this exhaust. It sounds fantastic, the volume is just right when you are on the gas and yet it sounds stock when you are just cruising at highway speeds. I'm definitely in love and I am definitely going to burn a few tanks of gas by the end of this weekend.

Can’t wait to install mine. This is exactly what I was hoping for sound wise.

Awesome!! Glad it wasn't damaged. Mine was poking through the box and what not. So dissapointed when that happened months ago.

Post pics of it on the car!!

Any issues with the o2 sensors or anything like that or gaskets? What did you end up torquing the bolts to in terms of ft/lbs.

I can't wait to hear this and install it in person. Seeing posts like this just make the wait worth it! :-)

In terms of the o2 sensors and bolt torques I honestly have no idea, the shop did everything in about 30-40 minutes and the car drove really well on the way home with no check engine light (fingers crossed it stays that way). Pics are to come.
