Ok first things first. I want to thank mackin for more than excellent customer service. They are very professional and stand by their products. Special thanks to brian and Steve for uninstalling and installing the exhaust about 5-6times and for lunch. Trully professional.
I mentioned before the production mxp was from the proto which was a mt. Unfortunatly the at and mt are very different. At diff is bigger than the mt which is causing the cannister to make some contact with the drive shaft. So...after measuring. It can be concluded there are adjustment that must be done, which will be corrected asap. We tookoff my exhaust and put it on brians mt g37 and it fit just fine. So in conclusion theproblem will be for at's. From what I am told it will be corrected asap. Those who are at should wait for upcoming batches.

Those with mt will not, forsure not have a issue with this system.
After that being said. Mackin is still one of my fav company and rates an A+ for customer service. As on right now they leant me the proto type (which fit perfect on my at) until this is resolved.
Thanks guys.

So we have to wait for another batch to be made and shipped over from Asia ? That could be months and months ! This seems like a major screwup by a company that should know better

Do you know if 6MTs are going to have to wait now as well (ala they are coming out with 1 uniform version)?

Yeah, but if they haven't shipped the big batch yet, then they may opt to stop all production in order to have one version that fixes the AT problem...Thus delaying all orders, regardless if we're 6MT or AT.

If they decide to make two versions, this will increase production costs in the long run if one version will work for both.

Its not faulty for 6MTs, so they may end up having two versions. In which case, the AT guy would be an idiot for buying the wrong version. Eitherway, like I said...I hope this does not delay the release for 6MTs.

These will not delay the production for the mt's. They are good to go for you guys. They'll keep us updated on when the single uniform versions come on.

Bro, you've been through a lot and I commend you staying so positive! Cheers to that. Thanks for all the info you found out. I have MT so I'm happy but I wish you luck on getting your new system, I'm sure Mackin will take care of ya. I just OK'ed my vendor to ship me my MXP - soon as that puppy is installed on my MXP, I will post pics/videos/etc. Thanks again for your info which pretty much was super useful to me as I have confidence to get my MXP, and my buyer of my Tanabe (great guy) can finally end his wait and get the damn Tanabe, lol!!!!!
