The warp drive is kicking my butt and the fusion power unit… don’t even go there. Thank you sir, your comic relief is welcome and greatly appreciated

This is just my preference. The tip can be set to desired fitment. I run mine about an 1/8 from the bumber

Look out for the firework show out the rear :-)

can you give me alittle feedback on the the race cat system, Xpipe and Sport rear mufflers??? hows the tone?? hows the drone??? i genuinely will listen and believe your review, your review for me will be my choice of buying or not, not many people on an internet forum do i trust like that......
Well yes, it took a great deal to get me out of my beloved RPI’s. After trying several different mufflers, I did not think I would ever replace my RPI’s. I say louder based using the Race mufflers & Race Pipes. Despite the fact that I was going to be bringing my car into the fabricator for the roll bar/half cage the day after I received the DKF systems I had to see and hear one of the systems on my car right away! Between the sound, fit, and finish I decided that somewhere in all the options that lay before I was going to find my new exhaust system.

I will be providing you with real detailed reviews, but it is going to be a step by step process. It is going to take some time to put everything together. Rather than wait to deliver it all at once. I will take everyone along for the journey and post as I go. I will outline my plan of action and reserve posts for the specific parts of my review once I finish the replies in this post. My goal is not only to find the best fit system for my needs, but also provide everyone with good solid information on the DKF components that I am testing.

Like you, I am concerned about the sensitivity of our tune, which is exactly why I am testing so many different options. I plan work the bugs out so you don’t have to. I do not currently have a set of race cats to test, so I will not be able to give a specific review on that set-up right away.
Thank you for the kind word Byron, now that the cage work is done (except paint, but that can wait) I will be dedicating a ton of time to this exhaust project.
Cheers, looking forward to the firework show

It seems there ther will something for everyone. The Street mufflers will be the quietest, The Sport to cover the mid range and the Race for loudest option. The Street should be a relatively mellow deep tone. Once the DB testing is done on each muffler you will have a much better idea of how they compare to others. You haven’t missed it, so stay tunned.

Plus with money/investors involved they need to get the input from the partners before presenting stuff.
Yes, sir we are hard at work. In my case, I have no other life though
