I'm going to see if they can use your car to make me an axleback if you don't mind

If they want to use my car for test fitting/development they know they are welcome to it.

I have been in contact with them since I pre-ordered the car on Mar 2nd.

I'm going to test fit my wheels on it to make sure I don't have to buy new ones whenever I get my car

Just go ahead and leave them on I'll do some durability testing lol

I've got zero rasp with my test-pipe. I have been complimented on the sound a few times

OK! I'll just add $3,000 to your invoice and you can keep them. Deal of the century!

How would the test pipe work with my greddy sp axle back?

Is there a significant loss in power by getting the HFC?

It depends if you have other modifications done to your car. Forced induction, yes, you will notice better gains with a test pipe over an HFC, but if you're going the standard bolt-on route, you're talking a few horsepower difference. It all depends if you want your car to be louder with better performance, or a compromise between sound and horsepower.

Could not be happier with my motive over pipe and catted front pipe! Very easy instalation of both. Great instructions. I did loosen the motor mounts on the crossmember to instal the over pipe. Just removed the nuts and barely threaded them back on to keep from having to line up the holes when i lowered the motor back down. I jacked up the motor at the oil pan. No more flat spot in the 4K-6K RPM range! Very noticeable improvement in power over 4k RPM. Catback is stock. The car begs to be reved out now. Before I would go ahead and shift cause higher rpms werent satisfying. $ well spent. Thanks Motiv! Now make me a resonated cat back!

Glad you're happy with your purchase! We're working on cat backs!

Go loud or go home. Actually my car is quieter with test pipe and AP exhaust. With Perrin CAI this weekend well see.
