I apologize if you've covered this elsewhere, but you have a bajillion posts so even using Google's site search it was hard to find this info. Could you give us any info on your background and expertise with exhausts? Are you affiliated with any larger manufacturers that are well known or is this your first commercial venture into this arena? I'm curious because your company name is based on a car that just came out ~1 year ago and your website says nothing more than "25 years combined experience" (I think it was 25...). Anyway, thanks for making such a killer looking exhaust!

BTW, are those 17x9 rpf1's on the silver car?

Cheers

This is the first exhaust we have designed. We partnered with a local fabrication shop to assist in the design and manufacturing of the system. It is all mandrel bent and solid 304 stainless steel. Every labor hour involved with it comes from here in Iowa and ships from our warehouse here.

We have been around since 2011 as JB Autosports. We latched on and fell in love the the twins so it only felt right to dedicate time and focus on this car solely. This is all we do at this time, but will be branching out to another platform very soon and also making parts for it, along with 2 more FRS/BRZ exhaust options. We also make a battery kit, and strut tower bars. We also have some other items in the works which will come out later this spring as far as chassis bracing and control arms go. Everything starts small at some point.

The silver car does have black 17x9 +35 RPF1's on it.

@SubieNate If it helps at all, a lot of my car buddies here in Nebraska have worked with this company and love them. And everyone on here says they have great customer service, which I have to agree with. One of the comforting things about that is that if something goes wrong with this exhaust, these guys would help out in a heartbeat. Plus it is one of the best looking/sounding exhausts out there, IMO. Alright, I'll hop off their nuts for a little while

^ Thanks. We may be new and small, but we take a lot of pride in our products and service.

any news on the single exit? really excited for that!

[AllDayJonRay]

Either, or both, the V2 or V3 will likely be a single exit variant, right?

V2 and V3 are both single exit. Both are in development right now. Late April ETA.

Sweet. And both will bolt directly to the mid-pipe from V1, right?

Will the muffler sections be available individually (without mid-pipe)?

Correct, and yes. The rear sections will be available for people who already have the V1 and want to maybe go single with the V2 for awhile, and then back to dual, etc.

lol. Gets welded up tomorrow.

@FT-86 SpeedFactory-is the muffler packing all stainless as well? Are you producing the can itself with your fab shop or is it an OTS item you're welding up?

Does it hang any lower than the stock exhaust as it passes the diff?

Thanks,
Nathan

Stainless steel core wrapped, with fiberglass around that.

Thanks,

Also, I would guess that this hangs about 4 inches lower than the stock piping at that location. It is no lower than any other option out for these cars and even after lowering the car over 2 inches, we have not had any clearance issues with the exhaust.
