Contact steve @Mackin Industries ( US Volk) 562-946-6820-Steve Lim, slim@mackinindustries.com - he said he would help.

Unfortunatly I have to loan mine to Road Race for a big EVO tuner shootout for Sport Compact Car on monday. The production unit are being shipped but won't be here in time for the contest.

The exhaust looks like it's made for the jdm Evo as it looks a bit short "again" just like the one from JIC. It looks like that the exhaust tip on this exhaust was extended and bent down a little so it won't be too close to the bumper. I'm sorry but it looks rigged up.

No way! How else would they get the killer Gram Lights emblem to be eyeballed. I think it looks tough.

The tip is actually sticks out farther than stock - see the other pics. This system was designed for the US evo8. I had concerns before I saw it about heating the plastic, but like I said it was not hot to the touch even after a long turbo time cool down. As far as the style of the tip, IMHO I think it looks more race like w/the welded angle, keeping in style with the whole race canister look. Plus you only can see it laying on the ground. But I can see your point, it's a matter of personal taste.

Sorry, no sound clip.

The gram lights is really not much louder than stock, just a nice lower burble tone. More low end torque on a stockish car, 2.75" dia.

The espelir is louder than stock throughout the rpm range, not too loud but you are always aware of it. The espelir drones more at freeway speeds and could be an anoyance on long trips.
More top end flow with fuel mods, 3.2" dia.

Lookin' sharp.

I'd put springs on my car if I wasn't so worried about wearing out the OEM struts.

Does it bolt up to the stock cat or can you use a 2.75 in. high flow? Who makes one??
Any resonators? Weight?

I think it bolts up to the stock cat, but check with Steve at mackin. I don't think any one makes a 2.75 cat. It has one resonator and I didn't check the weight. Sorry I can't be more helpful but Steve will help you. I recently read the welded angled race tip design is the new thing in Japan.
