How many in here are ready to other through the groupbuy? (I am sure it includes the offset offset) I want to buy this exhaust now, but don't know if I should wait for the groupbuy to fill up. If it will take long I'll bite the bullet and order now at regular price.

Whts the exact difference between offset axel back and the regular Axel back. Other than the added sound benefit, is there any disadvantage to an offset Axel back. I really want to hear the difference side by side.

And would this offset axelback combined with a nameless downpipe make it tooo LOUD compared to normal axelback with a nameless downpipe ?

The purpose of the offset offset is to make the regular axleback "quieter". The impression directly from Jason was that the car is quieter from 3-4K RPM and growls better from 4-5K, but it is quieter overall than the regular Axleback. So, if you add the downpipe and compare the regular to the offset, the offset will be quieter.

I've been ready to buy the offset offset axelback since the Facebook pics were posted but I'm waiting for word from Jason to say that they're taking orders.

Just call them up, and confirm. They usually pic the phone fast. I am pretty sure it includes the offset offset since I have spoken to Jason several times over the phone and know the offset offset was going to be released with a groupbuy.

I talked to him on Facebook last week (I just sent him another message since I'm at work), he said they are waiting for word from John on when they are taking orders.

I'm interested in this as one of the designs also. I think I'm going to wait on buying an exhaust though until I buy my turbo

They already have the offset design option on their website for the regular priced axleback. It's just not included for their groupbuy, I guess we'll see sooner or later.

Ahh, I haven't checked their site since last week. Glad to see it on there now.

Have they found an automatic to test the overpipe/downpipe yet?

There is an option now on their site to choose Manual/Auto, so I assume they added it because they tested it fits.
