Wow AK370Z, that was quick! You found our videos an hour after we posted it last night.
The exciting news is that our exhaust is going into production this week, we're hoping to get the first production unit finished in 2-3 weeks with the rest of the production units ready for sale in about 4-5 weeks. We'll get our forum sponsor account tomorrow to make an introductory post with the full details on the exhaust. Anyone local to the IE(Ontario), feel free to stop by anytime during business hours to check out the prototype exhaust in person. My brother daily drives the car and will be glad to show off the exhaust!

this sucker is going to be loud with hi flow cats! if it retains the same sound pitch/quality with HFC's, my stillen will be for sale. id like something a bit louder, without the stink/rasp of test pipes...

Surprisingly, the exhaust is very quiet at idle. On startup you hear the initial roar, but it settles down...that is until you take off! As you can hear on the videos, the exhaust sounds very smooth up and down the RPM band. We wanted a more aggressive exhaust note under acceleration, but still be able to putt around stealthly if we chose to.

It looks like the cats but they stick out (down) significantly. Hopefully that can be adjusted.

Just measured the exhaust, it's 4.5" off the ground. It seems like it does hang about 1" lower than the stock exhaust because of the thicker tubing, but over the course of 5k miles we haven't bumped into anything yet. The exhaust curves down right there to clear the rear bars. I'd be more worried about scratching the front lip than anything.
Stay tuned to the intake/exhaust section for our introductory post tomorrow!
Thanks,
