I know that's the hot length, but that's way too long IMO.

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.
Holy crap if you can get an intake that actually adds HP to our cars I will love you forever!

BUT first that rear diffuser!

It will not melt the bumper, its ceramic coated, you can even touch the tips. I'm using the max proximity to the bumper as I could, you could definitely set it up lower.

And yes the tips are a tad to long for my taste as well so I'm going to short them up a list a half inch.

I agree, that was the first time that I run them with the new hangers what made it possible to over grow a bit. The production will be a little less sticking out.

I may need to use yours for some test, Matt at Vs should be giving you a call to talk about it. (if possible, Please)

Man I would definitely want to meet you before winter hit us. how is your upcoming weeks?

Is this the same setup + headers as the most recent video?





I miss my car

I am looking forward to seeing the final design of your headers! I actually just sold my V2 Stepped Headers.

I am definitely down to meet up. My Airbox should be arriving by next week, but I won't be back into town until after December 12. There was another member who wanted to see if it fits his Z4M. We should all get together. Send me a PM and we'll figure out a good time

I love the creative design of this piece.

I see how it works for tip adjustment horizontal & vertical.
But I don't understand how it allows the system to stretch.
Is that the function of the silicone plug isolator?

Cool, I just hope the snow does not kill my plans. I should be in Arizona or California to fully enjoy my car IMO.

Can't wait til these start going out. I really want to hear the street and sport cans on a N/A car (along with the rest of the pipes too!)

The setup I'm wanting to hear most:

Street or Sport V1, X-Pipe, Street or Sport cans

Can't get in on this GB (in Korea and don't have money) but I've been saving already. There's always taxes! haha

I hear ya i still have to ship it to the middle east and the retarded customs section here in Lebanon will not let shiny pieces like these go as gifts, they will price them the same akrapovic

i hope there was a special cut down price for us people who live far away from the action. coz i sure feel like revamping my car sound with this insane setup.

don't care much about power since i will supercharge sooner or later.

I answer this on the post# 894 but the iphone messed things up so here we go again.

The Isolator mount (round piece) have different loads for compression and shear, what means less resistance or more deflection in one direction.
