I don't hear anything. But I also have a extremely loud exhaust system.

Ya just a "little loud" LOL!!!

Anxiously awaiting for Matt @ Revworks to send me a tracking # for mine!!!

So, is the AT version officially released and could be ordered?

Taber · 09-01-2013, 11:20 AM

Anyone weighing these when they receive them to confirm advertised weights?

Clearance issues with the aluminum one with a full 3" exhaust?

Hopefully DSS will come back with an answer but I suspect they found out the is no difference between the AT the MT after they made mine. If you go to their site it used to note that the BRZ/FRS shaft was for MT and now it doesn't mention transmission type.

I didn't weigh it but by picking it up its a night and day difference. Alum vs stock that is.
You should be fine with the 3" exhaust on the aluminum. My Greddy is 2 5/8" od and no issues of clearance. I thought it was going to be super tight. But once its installed bolted up its fine.

Pleased with the Aluminum one?

Looks like the Carbon and aluminum shafts are both around the same weight. Bit smaller diameter on the carbon shaft should translate to a lower moment of inertial, but that's a split hair I doubt most people would be able to feel. Very very tempting, this is on the wishlist.

I'm definitely intrigued, but I'd like to see some actual pictures of the larger diameter aluminum version with a 3" headerback exhaust next to it to actually gauge clearance. From what people are saying it shouldn't be a problem, but I'd like to confirm before pulling the trigger.
