How long have you waited? Last time I spoke to Matt they were waiting on some more materials on Friday of last week. These things are completely hand built so it takes some time.

Ordered Feb 23, I talked to Matt last week to switch my exhaust up to the 3" with 4" mufflers and he said it should be built thurs or maybe fri. I was just curious if they shipped them out as soon as they were completed or if I had to wait for a batch.

Also I forgot to ask him but do you know if the 3" is gonna be a simple bolt on like the 2.5 or am I gonna have to change up my mid pipe?

They give you a gasket made for the smaller midpipe.

how did it feel? I know it's tough to judge mods that increase power everywhere because its more difficult to feel than mods that change power in confined rpm ranges If you gain 10wtq from 2,000 to 7,000 you won't notice it as much as 10wtq from 5,000 - 7,000

Still waiting on my axle back to ship.... today i hope................

Hey, I'm waiting a SECOND time, I don't wanna hear it!

j/k man, it is well worth the wait, I promise. Even the short time I used the 2.5" Axleback, it sounded amazing and you'll see the quality with your own eyes instead of pictures. The welds are gorgeous and it looks nothing like any other exhaust for our car. The tips are a perfect size too. Anything bigger would look goofy and anything smaller would look like the too tiny stock tips.

Nameless mentioned once that the axleback produces little power at the top end but it does help fill the torque dip. I would like to confirm that. The only mods on my 86 are a Perrin drop filter[just added the silver PERRIN name and it looks very cool] and the 2.5" Nameless axleback with centred mufflers.
The torque dip is only from 3,100rpm to 4,100rpm now i've clocked 5,500km. That makes 4th gear perfect for overtaking from 100kph where it's pulling 4,100rpm and ready to go all the way to 177kph if needed.
