So, do we have the confirmation on 2.5", under axel piping (like the apexi) ?

What about the muffler? What style are you going with? Number 9?

And where do we send payments to?

How long after the 3 payments are made can we expect these to be done?

What will the price be AFTER the pre-buy is completed?

If this looks like its really gonna fly, I'm on board for sure. We need more good options when it comes to exhausts for pre 03 Tibs.

Once we get 100% confirmation and all questions answered above^^, I'll make my decision. I will then be ordering on the 10th, since this is when I get paid laugh.gif

All those apexi pictures arent there anymore.

We have one prebuy if someone can edit the first post. its the one from here, and its for the 1 gen.

Mufflers we might sell seperately. All tig welding.

Design will be as close to possible as apexi without completely copying it. We dont copy body kits, exhausts, intakes, etc. like every other company you see on ebay and around. smile.gif

Once we get the prebuys we need to round up cars with stock exhaust and stock rear bumper in california who can be test dummies for us. These people would get discount on the exhaust and/or store credit. On the 11th, no matter how many prebuys we have the price will go up by 25 dollars....this is actually costing a lot more than i originally anticipated since were going to have to put in a lot of work to get it like the apexi.

When its actually ready, it will have a retail price of about 350-375 which is still pretty decent i say.

Production time after factory gets the prototypes is only about 3 weeks. Most of the time in this thing will be shipping back and forth, plus rounding up cars for the test fitment.

Edited the list for you Yam, let me know if you have a username I can put there instead.

As for the pics, they worked the day I posted them, but I guess Haloz.biz went down.

Damnit!

Okay, well I'm definitely in, as soon as I get my check on the 10th I'll order from the site.


Wait, so before the 11th, $295 would that include a muffler or not? Reason I'd like to know is because I'll be selling my current exhaust for this one..

Another thing is that the Apexi one exits at an angle, earlier you mentioned you won't be doing anything exotic like that..which is probably a good thing since most mufflers look pretty strange sitting like that (except the apexi, because it was designed to be that way). I know that you don't know exactly what will happen, but I'm just trying to get an idea of what to expect..you see I ran into a LOT of problems with the last exhaust I bought, ended up paying wayyy to much money for it in the end. Plus it BURNED my rear bumper. And to this day it still rattles on the axel, this is another reason I'm very excited to be getting an under-axel exhaust like the one you guys are making. Thanks again
