Where did you unbolt it at? At the manifolds, cats, etc?

Well the factory exhaust is all one piece from the cats back. We just unbolted it at the end of our turbo kit which mates up to both sides of the factory exhaust 2.5 inch pipes. There are a lot of kinks and flattened parts of the factory exhaust that are causing a tremendous amount of back pressure. A dual 3 inch will take care of all of that.

The cop probably pulled you over to get a better look at your Beautiful ride!

Has anyone thought about using electronic cutouts that are vacuum/boost operated to open up when going into boost? Sorry, but I don't know how to embed the video.

Boost activated exhaust cutout........................

The evolution of the performance world is always getting better. Its all about turbo sizing!!
I looked through the forum and didn't see this....did I miss it?

That is "The" best solution to open up under boost and then quiet in normal driving.

I'm not very good with a video camera, but here's a couple vids. The exhaust may sound a little funky but the owner is doing a new exhaust very soon.

We have finalized our last customer car that we used to fit our kit on. We will take all the information and go through it and will have a date ( a couple days) as to when we will start releasing kits. The guys deserve a few days off to recuperate from all the long hours.

Please PM me if you have any questions about the kit.
