Thats because the vendor is FBPARTS, not FT

Hit him up, I think he still might have some at that price. Then get back to work! lol

I love this exhaust, and get compliments on it all the time. Just try to think about how loud you want the car, and your future mods. I think it would be way too loud without cats/full exhaust but then again I think its going to be like that with any exhaust at this point lol. By itself it is tame but not quiet like that greddy one.

I have exhaust clips of just the DT-S, not sure if you heard them.

Based on your rpms you're in 4-5th gear? If do a video in cab again could you goto sixth to get a sense of cabin noise at speed limit on a long cruise on hwy? Thanks.

Sorry man, I have a header on now, so that video would be pointless. If you are worried about drone or anything like that this exhaust does not have it. Its very quiet when cruising along. Its almost, dare I say, perfect in exhaust tone.

wow this thing sounds spectacular! I was scared as I heard it for the first time as I was SO sure it was going to drone as per the deep exhaust note... but no... it just goes silent inside the cabin went cruising at constant RPM... I dnt know how ark managed to do this but this is one of the best sounds Ive heard so far.

On another note...does your left exhaust tip sit a little bit lower than the right? I spent like an hour bolting and unbolting to no avail, it just sits lower. Its not too noticeable but it is when you stare at it for a while lol

Mine does the exact same thing. I'm a little OCD so it really bugged me for a bit. I'm hoping that switching the front pipe might give me a little flexibility to fix it a little bit but I just got over it. No one else really noticed if I didn't say anything.

We design all our exhausts with flexibility in it meaning you are going to need 2 people to install the exhaust. When installing have one person hold the rear section in the desired location while bolting it starting from the engine back. We know its a little more work but its so it fits any FR-S and BRZ for even the smallest differences in the cars, hope this helps!
