How exactly do they suck?? They have provided continual updates on production progress and provided pics as well. Learn to be more patient. Andy, you guys take your time and make these quality and low cost and you will have a winner. I'm patiently waiting

We'll post dyno graphs too! We're almost there guys, can't wait!

this was 20 days ago... continuous empty promises and failing to meet deadlines would not and does not fly in the real world... give me a break

wait all you want, more power to you.

Guys, I know Andy is working on this and he assured me that we will see actual pictures, videos and dynos this weekend. I am sure a new company, creating an exhaust from scratch, and simultaneously mapping out logistics of creating dozens of replicas of the original and monitoring the quality and original design intent is difficult... Anyone who has worked in manufacturing knows this all too well!

Be patient.

And that's perfectly fine. Take as much time as you need. Stop building up hype and not delivering promises.

Woodman650 couldn't say it any better in the iCarbon post.

Not going to win someone over that way.

^^ i completely agree, they said they were going to have the works for us this weekend about a month ago. if there are complications, keep the public informed, especially on a system that sounds incredible. i am patiently waiting for this system to come out so i can decide between eisenmann, meisterschaft, and this; but my patience is running out

Hey everyone! We apologize for the lack of updates. We were actually closed for almost two weeks for our annual summer vacation, and we’ve been SWAMPED ever since we got back. It doesn’t change the fact we should have posted we were leaving up on the forum, but at least so that you guys know where we were.
The final piece is already done and scheduled to be installed on our first customer car this Friday August 28th. We will do an install video, pictures, sound clips and a dyno as well.
Although this system IS our final design, it was made by itself and not in a production run. What this means is that the final systems that customers will receive from now on will be even a little more “polished up” than this system.
The pre-order will open this Friday 08/28/09 and pricing will also be announced then. Axle-back systems, Downpipe-back systems, and mid-sections only will be available for pre-order.
Below are some further details on this first system including pictures.

The below pictured system is our RT ™ (Race Tuned) System. This means it is a straight shot back from the downpipes with no cats, resonators, or any other form of restriction. Available for purchase will also be our ST ™ (Street Tuned) System which will be comprised of an RT ™ system, but with the addition of a resonator/high flow cat.
RT ™ Systems come with the below shown Single-Walled polished tips, and the ST ™ Systems come with Double-Walled resonated polished tips. Both systems also have the option of BLACK-LINE powder-coated tips for an additional charge (other colors available upon request).
Enough talking, here are the preliminary pictures! Studio shots, installed pictures, videos, and all of that good stuff to come Friday when our customer comes for his installation appointment.
We’re going to make a video of the installation process done with hand-tools and with jack stands, so that everyone can see this system requires no modification and can be installed very quickly by anyone, anywhere.



***Oh and for those who are wondering, our mufflers are actually made for us using our specs, so the weld line down the middle of the muffler due to these mufflers being custom made - not generic universal mufflers or overseas Magnaflow replicas


***** Final specs and description to be written up later today or tomorrow, we just wanted to post these pics ASAP!*****

Absolutely! The tips can be powdercoated in any color of your liking.

And yes, the complete system bolts up to the downpipes. So, if you are on stock or catted downpipes, then yes, the primary cat will be in place, but from there on back there will not be any further restriction. The front cats are the ones that turn the CEL on anyway, so this exhaust does not cause any lights.

- Andy

Gotta match those wheels! Thanks for everything Marco, you were a real pleasure to deal with; I hope the exhaust came out to your liking!

We'll be installing this last unit on Friday (and taking a video of the install), so with the use of your car everything should bolt up 100% and it should sound even better than our 1st revision!

Question about the mid-section. Can I just get the Y-Pipes (with resonator delete)? Does it work with the existing stock Y-Pipes with the secondary cats on?
