I think we need to hear some sound clips before passing judgement on this exhaust. I like the plate design although i'm not really sure of the functionality. Definitely feeling the stealth look and straight through design. By the looks of it though it seems like it will be pretty loud because of the lack of resonators and the straightness of piping. Is your car dyno tuned yet? This has a lot of potential.

It actually has 2 resonators. Dyno tune is scheduled for Dec 9 @ HB Speed

I will post a sound clip/video ASAP. Exhaust has a very deep rumble but does not drone or get obnoxious. PERFECT SOUND IMO.

Sorry wasn't looking close enough. I think my greddy spectrum elite might be going up for sale very soon. Congratulations on the beautiful exhaust bro...I really thought I have seen it all till now.

The ONLY complaint I can even manage seeing is the fact that much more of the exhaust will spew out the passenger side tip because of the sharp bend and extra piping it takes to get to the other one.. definitely a sweet *** design though and I like everything about it except for the abrupt angle to one side and almost straight through to the other side.

Very nice man, loving the illest plate frame, reppin Fatlace ftw.

Also, do you think you can PM me the shop info? I want to have a custom exhaust done also, not a dual setup like yours, but a single. Thanks!

very cool, thanks for sharing that additional picture of the plate. I wonder if they can add fins to it to make it a mini-diffuser...

Is this a prototype and did you purchase directly from B-Line Motorsports? You have a link to their store where they are selling this exhaust? And, generally can you generate more hp/tq from a dual muffler setup vs. a TBE where it ends in one big muffler that directs the exhaust out through two exit pipes/tips?

MRubino83, when you get the car down from the lift, is there anyway you could post up a few pictures taken during the day from a "cop's eye view" in back of the car, about 10-15 feet away, just to see if you can even notice a black exhaust in the rear. No one near me seems to have installed a stealth looking exhaust. How much for that black UCIP?

Cheers.

Yes, B-Line said they could have done that, but I wanted to keep this a stealth as possible.
