Thanks very much. Crawling under the car to make sure my pipes are especially clean has helped me stay limber. When I'm done washing the car, I proudly stand behind the car for it's new best angle.

It's my understanding that production prices are not set as of yet. Steve might be able to give you a heads up.

Hello Craig,

It looks like you've begun a new trend with these heat shields. I'm looking forward to meeting you in the next few weeks when we get you back in for your final install. Talk to you soon...

You will be able to place an order directly through me. We are currently working through the final stages of R&D on these systems and are planning on releasing them officially through this forum.

A rear valance like the GXP is required and we would like to include it in the kit. This will allow the N/A models to have a dual carbon fiber cat-back system similar to the GXP.

I will update the forum as we move closer.

Because we have not officially completed these system I will not have an actual price list until they become available for sale.

I can assure you they will be comparable to most quality made bolt on cat-back systems on the market.

Thank you for the interest and look forward to being able to offer these products in the near future.

The trend was set by GM by putting that lumpy factory piece of tin on the car in the first place.

It's always nice to make the trip up there. Huntsville is a beautiful place. Hopw to see you soon.

Thank you for your feedback...I just wanted to let you know that we will actually have a dual stainless steel system available as well. These systems have a nice low tone but will sound more aggressive at higher RPM. We are hoping to bring new and different ideas and styles to this market. Our hope is that we will have something for everyone. Is there a specific look you prefer most? Any ideas or thoughts are always appreciated.

now those tips look great to me. an idea that i have not seen for this car is a catback without mufflers but with a resonator. i know solo has done a catback without mufflers, but you could try adding just a resonator. it would be a little different. you could also try dual side exit exhausts dont know if people would be interested in those. also if you have pics of the stuff not on the car would be nice to see how you run the pipes. good luck

I have always liked side exit.

I think the plan was to have something for everybody.

At first, I was taken aback by my tips and mufflers. They are pretty outrageous. It didn't take long for me to appreciate the style. I'm not normally a guy that's interested in being different for the sake of it, but these hit the mark for the buyer with flashy expectations. They don't say ricy to me, but remind me of supertraps that were pretty comon back in my day.

Creating the option to replace the CF with Stainless was discussed at some point. I'm not sure if it's on the table still or not.

I think the CF body part trend may be over/played out. I see more detail oriented placement of CF as a more tastefull option. I would love to have my interior trimmed to match my mufflers

I still don't think the price was set for any of the systems. Steve will certainly know before I do.

I'm glad you like the stainless duals, we really want a unique look for everyone.
