Sounds like your still busy building away

Post a sound clip to once you get the canisters mounted, I would be interested in them as a temporary exhaust until I go FI or something.....plus they gotta sound better then the short tails no?

good price on them to!

definitely man.... im actually pretty excited..... no more "ru tu tu tu tu tu tudzzzzzzz" thats the rubbing noise i get from the oem exhaust....

glad i had my roof wrapped because if i didnt i would have never thought that rattling noise was because of the exhaust making contact with my rear bumper.... i always thought that my megan coilovers were giving out

I'll have to look more but I can't find the Top Secret catch cans anywhere! I'm sure they are expensive and I'm not sure the titanium goes well with what I've got going on. I may make something. thanks for the idea!

they are discontinued

together with there top secret strut bar and engine covers as well as there oil caps also..... i was actually lucky to get one of the last sets to be made.... i waited like 4-5 months... i couldnt remember.... but basically my buddy in japan ordered them... and when he went to check on the progress... they told him they were discontinued..... my friend then argued with them for about a week.... saying how could you say they are discontinued after making his customer (me) wait for MONTHS.... this was particularly screwed up because i had paid for it in full from the very beginning....

after 2 weeks they fabbed me the cans and sent me top secret shirts and stickers as a sorry for the mix up

just checked the tracking... the belugas are in hawaii

i never understood why stuff from texas arrives much quicker then when i order from cali.....

cali... 2-3 weeks
texas... 3 days was the record for me to 10 days being the longest

I'm going to take a guess and say that most of the shipping hubs are in the Middle of the country. They probably have to go there first before they go out to you.

I just ordered myself a set of CF B pillar covers. Next time through, I'll pick up a radiator shroud cover and the side mirror trim!
