we plan on getting some sound clips soon. I want to get sound clips from a car that only have the exhaust and then with the exhaust and FCP intake also.

I think the tips are 3.5 inches. definetly bigger then stock. they have a thick rolled lip. i will measure one exactly later tonight.

We waited till now to start taking pre-orders because they are supposedly ont their way to us right now, according to our distributor.

And you guys are stoked?? We're stoked. i've been working on this for no lie, 18 months and finally it's all done. Onto the next big project now. Thanks again guys.

the exhaust is not extremely loud at all, no droning whatsoever. We are ANTI-RICE.

we will be setting up a link to purchase the exhaust and intake together which will also carry a discounted price(same $25 off we are giving people who already bought an intake)

the mufflers are made specifically for us by our manufacturer and we prefer to keep his name confidential. We will be attempting to cut a muffler in half to post pictures of the high quality internal constrution. Scott's day job has a plasma cutter he thinks he can use on the weekend.

We will be looking for someone local we has a recent dyno to compare to. We would pay for the second round of dyno's if they purchase an exhaust.

I will also be hacking off two of the mufflers to use to make myself a Catback Exhaust for my 300ZX TT and we will offer the rest of the system(b-pipe, rear section-no muffler) for $350.
Scott and I have to discuss the seperate pricing for the b-pipe and rear sections but they will be around $300 for the rear section and $250 for the b-pipe section.

we do not know for sure if they will fit with a stillen rear valence, but judging from the where the exhaust hangs and how the stillen piece fits looks like it should be a perfect fit. once we have a confirmed fitment we will ask that person for pictures.

Next big project might unfortunately be for the new 350Z, we have a catback exhaust almost ready to go for that. We will still be constantly working towards expanding our inventory of other products.
We are also looking at new software to increase our productivity and response times as well as a third person to speed up production.
