If I'm seeing things correctly, they appear to have a weld-bead between them.

Correct, the two flanges i the front of the X Pipe are welded together.

The Carbon Fiber itself is extremely durable. I have been using it for years and I have customers all over the world with mother nature throwing all different kinds of elements at them!

It holds up very well to the heat and as a matte of fac, you can drive the car get the exhaust system to operating temperature and the Carbon Fiber mufflerl will be only warm to the touch. Trust me I have done it many times as a demonstration!

Looks great, sounds great

Good to hear!

I guess the shorter the resonator the louder the exhaust, correct?

Correct.

do you sell the resonators alone?

Not at this time.

All PM's replied!

BTW,

Anyone in the So Cal area that wants to drop in and hear the exhaust is more than welcome to.

I got a question...I see you eliminated those rubber bushings from the factory exhaust, where other companies choose to keep it. Do you happen to be getting some crazy vibration in the stick shift around 1800rpms? I thought thats why those bushings where their? to absorb vibrations...

Are you talking about the vibration dampers that are attached on the sides of the Y-pipes on the stock and the Stillen exhausts?

Yup...I really have no clue how they work or if its entirely needed but I did notice vibrations without them on...I was just wondering

I'm not really clear on them either, but my working assumption is that those dampers have more to do with modifying resonance in the exhaust system for sound purposes, rather than anything to do with felt mechanical vibration.

Hmm...I should take mine off to see what it does, just for experimentation's sake.
