Old muffler to new muffler - almost identical in terms of sound, within a 2% difference. Overpipe downpipe, we'll be testing here shortly and have a good opportunity to test it on a stock vehicle as well to compare it directly to the 2.5" version we have been testing with. Give us a week or so and I'll have actual numbers. Sound wise, the larger overpipe downpipe makes a LOT more noise from what we can tell. A few more tests to go to validate all of this.
As for the flange...well....move along, nothing to see here. Jason |

I'd really hate for there to big a significant difference in the current developments over the ones we picked up last year. |

So that means it'll be no good with the header? That's pretty disappointing. I was assured when I bought it that it would be the best option for when the header was finally released.

This header will bolt right up to our existing exhaust. No problem. Seriously guys, if you heard this thing at full 3" you'd hang on to the parts that you have in hand right now. It's ballistic. Of course, you throw a turbo in there and the 3" will quiet down substantially. Again, that is why we designed the 3" system was primarily to use for forced induction. We are curious to see how it will perform but I doubt there are 5% of the owners out there who would daily drive this exhaust - it's nice and sweet at idle, but crack the throttle and it'll scare children off the sidewalks.
Again, this header will bolt right up to the 2.5" overpipe/downpipe combo, same outlet location, etc - that is why we have the v-band in the pic is to do differential testing between the two. Jason |

Honestly, no clue. Probably lighter than the stock unit though. This one has a bunch of extra flanges in it for testing. While at least one of those will be available optionally as a matter of design, none of them are necessary.

We're not by any means interested in a) screwing over our customer base or b) developing outside of the range of constraints that 99% of our customers have made very clear (the main constraint being reasonable sound levels). Jason |
