Another great option for our platform. Not really sure if it has been posted before, but it looks good and sounds good too.

$1,189 isn't bad of a price.

I honestly didn't notice much of a sound difference. It looks pretty heavy though.

Sounds good but still a little on the quiet side for me.

The turbo is only being driven off of 2 of the 3 cylinders on each side. Each side at 2.5" is 5" overall. And I'll be shocked if the 2.5" is actual from DP to tip.

I asked them the same question when I inquired about the 2.0 exhaust. They said they don't have that information yet.

Does that mean you ordered and received one? If so, we need a review with video/sound!!

Yea, the Thermal sales guy is on the other forum. He said the cost is appx $890 prior to shipping until the end of the month.

Unfortunately shipping would cost me nearly $200.

Code didn't work. If it did I was going to buy, but now I'll just keep my options open.
