The product will be available but at a higher cost. The MSRP will not change but coming July 1st we will be cutting dealer discounts on any product that utilizes a catalytic converter. For us to even source the cats in CA it's become somewhat of a logistics tango that we have to play. The irony of all of this is that they're manufactured about 15 minutes away from our shop, yet we have to truck them in from 1500 miles away.... go figure.

And a video of prototype #1. This is without the X-pipe. The X-pipe should give it a higher pitched tone.

Take note that this exhaust sounds great with HFC's! (or test pipes)

I think it's sounding great, X-pipe will definitely give it a better, smoother more exotic sound, can't wait to hear it

Def. sounds better with HFCs.

LiquidZ · 05-27-2009, 07:56 AM

Sounds hot with HFC's!

I noticed a vibration as the revs went down. Could this be caused by having no crossover?

P.S. Mario music ftw.

Sounds very nice

What kind of increase in the price are we going to see? PM if needed. I need to know soon, because I gotta save a little extra cheese over he next month then.

I love it! Can't wait to hear it in person and with the x-pipe.

nogoodname · 05-27-2009, 11:45 AM

semtex, I think both were with the HFCs, the difference was the first was with the stock Nissan exhaust, the second was with the Berk prototype cat-back exhaust

Yep, you're right. Dang, then this shows how much the sound improves with just the HFCs! Like even with a stock exhaust it sounds more aggressive.
