as well as you might be able to get it to fit your test car(s), in reality, every kit will have to be tweaked to fit perfect. hell, you cant swap body panels like doors and hoods without shims and adjustment, why would an exhaust be any different? if anything, i think making a universal xpipe back and header specific header pipes would give you more adjustability for those little differences between every car.

We stopped texting each other because it died out too. Was telling me, "Next few weeks," he'll have mine ready but there were setbacks. Not sure what happened.

Yea alot guys of make it sound easy, but in reality its not that easy if it was there would be alot more out there. I'm surprised that alot of guys were not bitching about the price of $575 for a 16 gauge alumnized pipe kit, with no mufflers and tips that will only be guaranteed to work with pacesetter headers. I for one believe , if he could deliver this kit in 3" at that price he could probably sell quite a few of these. Keep in mind good quality mufflers and tips could be as much as 300 more.So a total system for under $900 not bad.

Very interesting. When do you think you'd have the "first" models available? Also...do you think you could do an H pipe?

Well maybe he ran into some problems manufacturing ,or maybe he just got tried of all the dumb sheeps on here asking for changes to his kit.He was trying to market a kit.You cant make it 100 different ways.Its not that easy to get good quality ,and fitment let alone expect it to fit a bunch different headers,

Who has asking him to make it 100 different ways? Your telling me a random dude comes on the board preaching of over the axle TDs that arent even stainless and you expect everyone to jump on the bandwagon?

As everyone else has said im down for the rigght price. 3" would be ******* but 2.5 true duals is still awesome. what kind of mufflers do you have on your system?

I'm sorry everyone. After getting all the numbers I decided that the market for this system was too small considering that the only cars it would fit are 98-02 trans ams and camaros and many of them already have systems on them....The first kit was going to cost $850 just to make it, not including shipping or installing it on the test car. After that I was going to have to order 20kits which would have ended up costing me over $5k. After much consideration I decided to give up on this idea, and wait until I had a more universal part I could make that would fit on more cars. I'm sorry to let everyone down, but it was just not going to be feasible for me to do.
