Hey Guys,

Scott from Stromung paid me a phone call today. . . He said all the parts are in, they awaiting for the laser cut brackets for exhaust. We should start receiving our exhaust in 2 weeks, 3 weeks latest.

I told him I have concerns of loosing HP like other manufactores, he assure me there will be no HP loss. The Parts are going to be of very high quality.

I am going to dyno my car stock and with Stromung exhaust when i received my exhaust to be sure.

can you really lose power because of the shape of the mufflers? when i buy an exhaust i certainly don't expect any gains, but i certainly better not get any losses.

I got a call today as well but I missed it. He left the same message and we will see if it looks and sounds as good as it seems....

I am ready for a change. I hate the two big round boxes under there now.

Left me a message too... looks like the exhaust could be here faster (2 weeks). I dunno if it could really lose power through the muffler if the flow pattern is ~95% the same.

Are you sure they have your info? I called them after the official list went to them and they have called me a bunch of times.

you don't need a muffler shop. all you need is a lift, exhaust is such an easy diy.

I heard its really easy to install it, but I just don't want to mess it up. Seen some ppl's muffler is uneven. Is everyone in this group buy going to DIY it?
