Alright guys! Here's the second half of my order from Tony, I'm sad cause I don't get to install them for another week and a half. Anyway, on to the pics!

Mini is curious

Mini approves

I approve

Close ups of the welds...


Enjoy! I'm dying to put them on, I'm going to be going stir crazy in Texas!

Talked to Tony & Nick today. Those guys are totally slammed, but that's a good thing!

Super nice & responsive though. Can't wait!

Yes there is, the carbon sounds (IMO) slightly better. The carbon allows more sound through, and sounds slightly meaner. I love it.

Same here! For me and a lot of clips on utube. My carbon sound deeper. And I got test pipe from tony too. Really loud. But awesome. So smooth and deep. Additional 250 (not sure if how much really! Lol!) for carbon is worthy.

And of course lighter and for me. For additional couple of hundreds for the weight and look. Still worthy.

Looks wise do you think the carbon fiber looks better? I kind of think the SS has an edge on looks, just me...

The CF cans have more of a stealth look to them while the SS cans are more in your face. I am happy with my non-res CF system.

The CF will allow more sound to pass through it, so it will be slightly higher volume, but one of the other attributes of the CF is that it will change the tone of the exhaust ever so slightly to give it that exotic sound to it. Closer to a Lambo or Ferrari than previous VQ's, especially when paired with the LTH's.

Freer flow is of course a given, so HP and TQ is the same.

Weight wise, you're saving a few pounds over the SS system, but in all reality, when you're already dropping 40+ pounds vs the stock system, 1-2 for the CF isn't really going to matter unless you're worried about if your GF can fit or not...

Everyone has their personal preference (I believe they both look great in their own respects just because it's a sick exhaust) the CF I think looks better on cars with black or CF accents elsewhere on the car because as previously mentioned, it's the only exhaust with the CF option. On a black car, it's kinda up to the driver if it's worth it. Since the CF would get lost on the black. I think on a Red, Silver, and Blue Z it looks amazing.

The SS mufflers look just as good though, I love them on my black Z especially after Mothers wipe down to clean off the road grime, they just glisten under that bumper saying, "No, I am not stock you derp. lulz."
