It will reduce the vibration inside the cab, it allows the exhaust to stretch in the correct direction, it allows full adjustability of the tips and its lighter then OEM.

full Stainless steel 304, Silicone isolators.
There you have it, yes it really makes a difference and bye bye to the OEM one.

So as a potential customer and not just forum fan (which I am too), what's the rough ETA on this being available for retail purchase?

Yes I know patience is a virtue and all good things come to those who wait, but all commercial ventures have to go to market some time.

Yes, I watched the video! And I had the same reaction as inTgr8r!

At each point in making design decisions it looks like all options were considered and the best and most innovative/effective solutions were selected. Nice work.

I can't wait for this to become available.

OEM headers, DKF Street section 1, DKF section 2 with Race mufflers after broke in 600 miles.

Now I got headers on and man it's crazy, I felt like was playing need for speed, I can't stop revving at the red lights. lol

So I'm hopping to have some numbers for you guys after that.

My best guess is that I should have all done within two weeks, this will allow me to do video clips of it.

Crfine want to do the GB of the systems what is okay with me but he had being very busy lately but I'm sure he will help you guys on your decisions and choices.

My car have being running the DKF Exhaust for over 600 miles and I have no CEL with the OEM headers and S-pipe resonators and X-pipe plus mufflers. You can definitely feel a increase of power with the setup this way. After 500 miles I notice that some small drone is happening but just for about 300 rpm at 2200 to 2500 rpm I'm working on a solution to minimize that even more and that should be done by the middle of this week and I will post here.
My car got a new master cylinder, now I need new rotors/pads and a new DSC.... go figure 6k miles on my car

Just came back from VS Motorsports and the only thing I can say is that the rock!!!!

Everything is done but my DSC is messing things up, no dynos yet but they will come in the fallowing weeks.

Also working with evolve to get a CSL intake and epic for the alpha N tune.

Nice! Which headers did you end up getting?

My Evolve CF Airbox will be coming in this Winter! We should definitely meet up if you want to check it out.
