Downpipes it is!
Hey on a serious note, I noticed that the pipes seem to stick out a little more than stock. Any way to get those flush like the stock

Much appreciated!

Quick question.. for the downpipes, would it be just as loud if I were to get 200 cell downpipes opposed to the SSR downpipes that you have on your car?

200 cell won't be as loud but still pretty damn loud.

Lol I currently have a decatted midpipe (just secondary cats removed) with valve controller and that's already loud enough to wake the neighbors.

Perfect. I’ll take it! I was torn between going catless and 200 cell. Glad it’ll be loud enough with just a 200 cell then

Will do. You already know clips are to be expected on a exhaust like y’all’s 😂

New video is live showing just the midpipe with stock everything else. Take a listen and let us know what you think!

LeRoy · 03-18-2023, 11:49 AM

Hey guys. With the catless mid and all the valves closed and efficient and all that, how’s the drone. From the original video, sounded like there was some drone during normal driving.

LeRoy · 03-19-2023, 05:32 PM

Also. Can we get a video of catless downpipes and just the midpipe? Stock rear end?

I believe that was soom’s setup wasn’t it?

Hey Leroy,
We are excited to see your interest in this new system. Regarding the drone levels, we have worked extremely hard to lower the unwanted frequencies to almost zero. The lower compression ratio of the S58 engine does introduce those low-frequency sounds but with the valves closed and efficient mode, those exhaust tones spend so much time inside the muffler casing that the sound levels are reduced drastically and drone levels are minimized. Everyones' ears are different but we are very sensitive to drone. It's an unpleasant experience when it is forced to be heard. Obviously, with some free-flow downpipes, you're still going to hear the car but it's perfect for long drives and you will easily be able to take a phone call or have kids in the car. That was our biggest objective with this system development. We were not going to compromise, what you're getting is an incredible sound experience when the valves are open and that sleeper mode when a more calm experience is desired.

Thanks for the response guys.
One more question that I can think of now.

In the titanium system, looks like the exhaust tips used to be slightly canted from one another. Is that still the case or are they in line now?
