Next Generation Motorsports (aka NGM) was absolutely legendary in the Tiburon scene and made a few products for the Genesis Coupe and Veloster. They've primarily been doing contract work in the GTR and BRZ market since 2011, but are apparently developing some goodies for the Stinger too. The company owner sent over a peek of their TWO axleback exhausts.

NGM sent me these two pre-production samples and I'm looking to arrange for local test fitting towards the end of next week.

Either the 2.0 or 3.3 or just the 3.3?

To my knowledge, the two muffler sections are the same on the 2.0 and 3.3. NGM did their initial testing and design on a 3.3, but I'm pretty darn sure these will work on a 2.0 as well. I should have them here next week if you'd like to give it a try. Equally as important, I've gotta find a 3.3 owner in the area to test on that car too! (Though I am hitting up the local dealerships tomorrow tho) ;)

Pics and vids to be posted tomorrow, stay tuned! Pricing, I'm gonna need some time on that since there's many variables to take into account.

Please fit 2.0...Please fit 2.0...
All indicators are that the axlebacks will be compatible on both. I'm gonna see if my new buddy Vance will be down to meet up tomorrow and have these installed on his 2.0 later on in the afternoon after I get fitted up on my 3.3 in the morning. I'll probably be keeping the muffler version for my own Stinger, so the delete ones could potentially be up for grabs. (wink wink)

Zeta sounds amazing! Is it basically straight pipes? Or are the cats/resonators still retained?

Yes, the Zeta is pipe only, no resonators (Omega has the resonators). It's an axle back so that means everything before the rear mufflers stays the same.

QUICK UPDATE....
Since we've had a good amount of inquires from potential customers NOT located in the USA, if inventories are imported here to our warehouse locations either in California or New York, then re-shipping to locations like Australia, NZ, the Middle East, etc will cause these individuals to pay a premium. The alternative was keeping a portion of the inventory at NGM's Asia warehouse and they can simply drop-ship international orders for us. However, since some countries have a limitation on parcel size for EMS shipping services, that would force us to upgrade to another shipping category, such as EMS Premium, DHL or Fedex. Again, higher cost. After discussing this with the factory, they suggested to make each pipe multiple parts so as to reduce the shipping size. Pretty simple solution really. Instead of using flanges, they are going to make it so the pipes can slip into one another and get clamped in place. This would keep the cost to a very reasonable level no matter where the final destination is. We technically wouldn't even have to import a large inventory here to the US for domestic (and Canadian) customers since the overall cost would be similar. Of course, we'd like to do so just to have the parts physically in hand, but since we've got Asian warehouse space as well, then that can be utilized too. So basically, where we're at is simply going through the re-do of the tooling jig, samples and then calculating final costs. I'd rather not put an estimate on when these will be available, but it won't be much longer. Maybe 2 weeks. Again though, don't quote me on that. I'll post an update as soon as possible.

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE!
The axlebacks are now available for pre-order. Due to feedback from the community, they have decided to offer the single-pipe units first and will likely proceed with the split-section option later since they're snagged in R&D with that. They expect to have two versions of EACH--one with a single pipe and one with the multi-pipe for reducing shipping costs.

NGM AXLEBACKS ARE NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!
