WHAT?!?!? Are you implying there are more effective ways to communicate then to assume the list price is final and if no one responds to an email or PM, there is no hope? Oh the humanity!!!!!!

^ Wow.. I read most of this but not all of it.. Starts to hurt the eyes after a while.. But $1940 for LT's and exhaust is exceptional! I WILL do this now!!! (Well, not NOW.. But I will do this.) Ground clearance is the only concern now. The Strano springs I plan on replacing mine with should be a hair higher than the Eibach ****-kit I have in there now.
I am beyond tired of my current exhaust and I need something new.

If I end up paying $2200 shipped for this exhaust, it is STILL worth it. Figure a FULL Corsa exhaust with JUST a catback would be around $2000. Now add in a badass product from Kooks, WITH the 3" system in TRUE DUALS, THAT is a good buy!!! I'm sold.. Just concerned about ground clearance now. And I gotta save up the money. Car is gonna get re-done in 2011.
I'll sell my damn wheels to help pay for it!!

I am really liking this setup. If someone who has it could chime in and compare the ground clearance to there old ypipe setup(brand name). love the way my car sounds with my qtp lt's, ory, and SLP Powerflo catback but the ypipe from QTP hangs to low and I bang it off alot of things. My car has the 1.25 bmr drop spings but it hit at stock height alot as well. Even the headers where the ypipe connects have a few minor scrapes. I actually had to spot weld the ypipe to assist the clamps. Now that I added a MS3 113lsa cam the car got louder and sounded great but had some extra fumes so I got some tiny bullet cats off a vette setup but worried they'll get mashed soon. So I am currently thinking of getting a custom fabbed ypipe that tucks closer to the body to help but after seeing this system I am extremly interested. I already have over $10k in my car so what is a few more for a better fitting exhaust, I never plan on selling it. Also anyone with a cam pm or post a vid clip please. Sound seems decent to me but my main concern is the clearance and how it runs underneath. I would honestly have been happy with a 3" cat and dual 2 1/2" piping for better clearance but this kit looks great and I love thos tips.

Again..for the thousanth time..call us for prices..you will not pay some crazy sum for this. We are trying to get a few systems out tehre so people do realize that this is possibly the best exhaust you can buy for your car. As for a convertible..no one is gonna know untill someone tests it on a car. I know Kooks has not.

my mistake, i could've sworn your sig said true duals. anyway yes a true dual set-up will give you more power, but i know for damn sure you could get on just as good (sounds better going under the axle BTW) for a lot less in price. my 3" true duals cost me less than $350 all together and that includes the sweet thunder resonators.

1. Sound is subjective. What sounds like *** to some, is music to others (i.e. LM vs Corsa, ORY vs Cats, etc)
2. Under the axle is a half *** solution to save a few bucks.

Thank you for posting up.
I'd love to see some video of the underbody of your car once you have the new pipes installed. I'm very curious what kind of clearance you have regarding the T/A, Exhaust, and Floorpan.
Keep us updated.
