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

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.

Surprised everyone is doing 2.5" piping.
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.

If anyone is wondering the weight of the exhaust system is 60lbs.
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.
