Get what makes you happy, don't settle.

That said, an axleback shouldn't restrict power until 350+ whp.

Yeah, I was kinda stoked about getting the 3". I'll see what they can do for me. I think I do want the Offset though over Centered.

I'd make the switch, as the 3" offset has a deeper tone.

So is there going to be a power difference between the original 2.5" offset axle back and the newest 2.5 revision or just a sound difference? I believe the one I got was an original (4x6 mufflers?)

Mainly a sound difference, quieter because of the larger mufflers.

I would be one sad panda if there was a significant difference in HP between mine and the newest version. I like the sound, seems pretty quiet to me.

Well, I'm not sure if anything is being done about my 2.5" Axleback I received. I'm attempting to get the 3" Axleback and ship the one I have back. The order was entered incorrectly from Titan and was built as a 2.5" off-set when my invoice said 3" non off-set.

Jason was working with me and talked to Titan, offered to give me the 3" inlet off their shop car for my 2.5" or upgrade me for free when I do go FI. I appreciate him going out of his way to make sure I'm happy with my purchase, but in reality, Titan should be the ones paying for this mistake.

I just hope I'm not screwed now because I mounted the Axleback and didn't know that I did not receive the 3" Axleback and was 2.5" instead.

D00D ,
Sorry to hear about that man. I'm sure you will be taken care of one way or another.

Pretty clear as to the solution.

Sorry to hear about the mistake...sucks

Maybe this is a sign we should purchase direct from the manufacturer and pay the slightly higher shipping. Looks like nameless is at least trying to help and Titan is taking the backseat.

Good luck man! Hopefully they come through and right the wrong

Yeah, we'll see. If they don't do anything, they'll get a wonderful review from me on here and I'll be selling my 2.5" Axleback.

Lesson learned. I always order direct from Nameless.
