I left my car for two weeks with a local company to see what they could come up with.
I was very pleased to see my car. Not only because the weather was perfect the entire time it was there, but because I think I might have the sweetest exhaust on an LNF Solstice.
Let me know what you think.
It's 3 inch from the cat. I'm pretty sure it's 2.25 after the y with some really pretty mufflers. The billet tips make it for me.
It's has an aggresive sound yet it can be quiet if need be.
I love my car!

The sound of Craig's exaust is fantastic and so is the look! Craig you forgot to mention the carbon fiber. Has the opportunity of seeing and hearing it on the weekend.

I wish I could accept the compliments on the setup. I am proud to have it on my car nonetheless.
I am a carbon fiber junkie. They tell me that the muffler is available in stainless, but these speak to me in CF.
Apparently there are videos of the dyno runs. I'll try to get my hands on them as well as the dyno sheets. There is no question, the butt dyno approves. My car pulls all the way to the top now. It fell on it's face around 5k before. My car also ran with a dip in power down low. The issue is cured. I am very pleased!
I shopped for a system for some time. There are some decent choices out there, but I was sold by MBRP's attention to detail on other projects they have tackled.
I love how you can see the polished pipes from behind the car. If only I could see them when I am driving.

Very cool! I really love the heat shield too! Any idea how much that will cost?

I have not been told what the heat shield will cost. Or if it will be produced at all. I have sent this link the guys at MBRP. If people want it, and they can make it for a decent price, I'm sure it would be offered.
Thank again for the compliments. I cannot take credit for it. The guys at MBRP are the ones with the skills. I just have good ideas.
I called Solo and was pleased with their customer service and prices. On the recent cruise, I had a chance to view much of their product and must admit it is pretty sharp. I have made a commitment to MBRP for the full system. I'd be a jerk if I backed out now. Plus, the DP/cat was the part I really wanted in the first place. Now that the cat back turned out so well and actually gave me additional perfomance, I am pleased as punch that it's on the car.
Those tips reminds me of slip on exhausts for sportbikes. Looks really nice I like it!
With my first experience with a turbo car, I am suprized at how little muffler it needs. I wonder if it's lighter than stock.
The tips can be removed, exposing a finished surface behind them. A nice option. I'll take some time to take them off and get some pics. I have been thinking of different custom finishes for myself. Black chrome on those tips would be sharp. Just doing the trim ring might add a nice detail.
They did a rear section system aswell, But I never got a chance to hear it.
