Should be getting my tax money next week and then going to AZ to watch a few spring ball games in the mid of march. Just don't want to order one and then it sits here at the house while I am in AZ and risk the chance of it getting stolen

As promised, here's the video with the Works AB-M with stock everything (no engine mods or pipe alterations). Car was still a little cold though...enjoy!

Sounds amazing Maybe someone can chime in...I know alone it's not suppose to provide any power but I wonder with a tune if their be a power gain? This is less restrictive...

Hope to get tax return soon...I wonder if they will be offering any kind of deals??? Group buys? Maybe wave shipping cost?

I was able to adjust it a little bit. Not perfectly aligned with the left side but slightly better than yesterday. Only people with OCD (like me) would notice them.



The exhaust are custom made as you order so I accept the fact that it's a "normal imperfection". Loving the sound

Thanks, I LOVE the sound!

Plate frame is from one of those vendors you can find inside your local mall

I have the piston 86 frame from 86_ZN6 that will probably take its place...too lazy to put it on at the moment.

We will go back to the drawing boards and see where the issue is.

I have a feeling the jig got tweaked down the line. Coz the first one mdae ( the one in my car) is even.

I will try to fix it tomorrow and report back here

Nice videos. Interesting how the axleback seems to vent to the left tip at low rpm, but to the right tip at high rpm.

by it self it gains 3HP. if you want more power you need the midpipe which makes a total of 9HP

Please let us know what you find when you go back and take a look at the jig.

Perhaps the next one that comes off the jig should be bolted to your [test] car to see if there is a fitment issue.

Even though the fitment issue is pretty minor, it is still a major point in buying this 'system'. My local exhaust shop would likely be in a similar price range for an identical system, with a fitment guarantee. That said, if this minor fitment issue is addressed, I'm more likely to just order this piece.

So was it a design/manufacturing issue or something else? Is there anything I can do to get mine to fit perfect (some specific tips on adjusting the hangars, or do I need some custom welding)?
