Thanks a lot. Not enough performance gain to be vastly noticeable, but it does feel a bit more responsive just because the new part is much less restrictive than the stock setup.

Hey guys, update on what's going on with pricing:

I'm having a meeting tomorrow to further discuss our costs and the final price we'll be offering the part at. Again, planning to price it below $430. We also will be offering free installation at our location in Los Angeles. Thank you all again for the great feedback; keep it coming!

Anyone can get this sound if you guys want to straight pipe.. Cheapest best mod if done right and not over done.

The best sound willl be if you cut out your mufflers and weld 2.5 mm straight pipes coming out with your oem tips if you would like..

It should not cost your more thant $150

Make sure to leave the resonators on if you want a clean deep sound..

Without resos it is very raspy

Want it for my 09 x coupe. Now!!! This looks like a great budget-friendly option. Seriously, I'll buy if you make it.

I'm sure it can be done cheaply, but I for one, am not cutting up my stock exhaust.. I'd rather buy new pipes outright.. and at a 3rd of the cost of most reputable exhaust companies.

+1 for final price and shipping to Florida
