Riss Racing can chime in on the coating question.
I cant wait for the JB3.

miro2296 · 11-05-2008, 01:58 PM

Congrats Silverbullet!!! The exhaust looks great. I think we will be getting the JB3 around the same time :biggrin:. Next up DP's.!!!! :wink:

coco_m3 · 11-05-2008, 03:05 PM

Yep, gotta have the downpipes.
Just went out to get lunch, and the thing sounds amazing!
I love it.

cant wait to see VIDS!!!!!! congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

coco_m3 · 11-05-2008, 03:13 PM

ITs still snowing, i hope i can get home on my summer tires....

Riss Racing · 11-05-2008, 05:01 PM

Coating is for looks. People liked the look of the matte black ehxaust. We only did about 6 sets of coating, and we send it out to coaters to have done. (which is a nightmare to deal with) The polished exhaust is the way it typically goes out. In regards to OEM tips you can always have an exhaust shop fit them on any exhaust. Not a hard thing too do.

+1 Get the video up! I think you snow plowing the streets would make for a great video

Thank you all for the positive feedback! Everybody that I have spoken too with the exhaust seems very happy with it!

The coated looks good!

ktdw · 11-05-2008, 09:07 PM

I just picked my car up after my coated exhaust was installed. AWESOME!!!

On a cold start it is LOUD and my car rumbles. As mentioned, the car feels much more powerful - I'm not exagerating! The sound is great, with a little drone...and some rasp when cold. I'm thinking it's the best you can do going catless.

Oh, smell is not too bad. Kinda like being at the racetrack. And I'm guessing even that will diminish somewhat in time.

I'm on my iphone, but just had to get the word out on this great exhaust system!

ktdw · 11-05-2008, 10:30 PM

Ok, back home. At one stoplight I actually thought it smelled like candlewax?! Anyways, even with the windows down, the smell didn't bother me.

Accelerating on the freeway is awesome. Better than the video. If you are cruizing at a low RPM, it will drone a bit. The drone is worse if you have the windows up. Again, not too annoying, and it's only at around 2K-2.5K RPM. But as far as I know, a little drone is expected when going catless.

I will take some videos this weekend.

ktdw · 11-10-2008, 07:21 PM

Am I the only one who loves this exhaust? Or are there not many of us out there yet?

To add to my previous comments:

The power increase is very noticeable. If you have downpipes and a tune, you definetly need this.
The smell is not that noticable. A little like being at the racetrack, and not obscene at all. Even the wife hasn't complained.
The sound is great, and minimal drone. Drove several hours over the weekend without any thought of drone. The sound under WOT is awesome.
Looks great (got mine coated).
The weight is an added bonus, especially when I was skeptical that one pipe would be sufficient.

All I need now is that "special surprise" :wink:

Awesome review! Thank you so much! We really appreciate the great feedback. As promised about the "special surprise" for ALL Pre-Order Exhaust sales, we're working the pricing right now with 2 options. Stay tuned, we'll have an update by Friday.

SV Concepts III · 11-12-2008, 05:15 PM

That looks REALLY good in the coated version. I was worried that the chrome would not work well on the 135, I definitely think this is the exhaust I will be doing on my car. Any video clips?
