I'm pumped for the end result though, as long as they are on by this coming friday's show then I'll be happy.

Mine are on the way... 
Should be here on Thursday, will put them on ASAP, then should have some sound clips on here by Friday or Sat. morning at the very latest.
Sure they will be worth the wait.

Sorry guys for all the delays, but we can only ship as fast as we can get the system from our manufacturer. We were given estimated dates from the manufacturer & we tried to keep everyone up to date as best we could.

well....it took about 3 hours longer than I expected because I had to go rent a pipe expander and open up every joint in the set up except one....I could not get ANY but that one to go inside it's mate, let alone be able to slide around for adjustment. Then when I had everything done except for one last piece, the damn expander broke so I had to go rent another.
Jason, you'll definately need to address this in your next batch.
Also, on the drivers side, the first piece from the header, i could only get about a 1/8" gap between that piece and the car. Since my biggest motivator with going with the duals was to eliminate the Y and the occasional bang, I was very dissapointed with that...so I used a scrap piece of metal and a hammer and created a small flat spot so hopefully that'll do the trick.
I put it in place using the little U clamps provided, fired it up and it roared! Great sound. tomorrow I'll take it back off as one whole piece, and weld everything except for the ones to the headers where I'll use 3" wide band clamps that came provided.
clearance is not an issue at all. mine tucks up even closer to the car than my stock torque arm
It should be all squared away for my show on friday, thanks for working with me in making that happen TSP.
I'll post a small vid friday probably for sound clips.

1BadMoFo, please don't tell me that I will have to do some fabrication to something that I figured fit together as it was intended to. If that is the case, I should of just paid an extra $100 bucks and had a shop fab one up and install the setup. I hope I don't have those problems, or I will be pissed!!!!

If your system is like mine, you'll have to do quite a bit.
Also, I took mine for a test drive at lunch and was pretty disappointed so far. I scraped in and out of my driveway, had a bunch of rasp, and lots of vibrations in the car. Keep in mind though, it isn't welded though, so m aybe that rasp was some rattles with the cheap clamps, and maybe I can adjust the dumps so that it is more towards the rear and vibrate the backseat less...

Mine came in and I got them on tonight. Only a couple small problems but nothing that was not easily fixed. Some of my pipes were tight, not horrible, only one needed a little extra help. Had to take my BMR driveshaft loop off, will have to put on another one or make a new one if I have time tomorrow. Have not driven the car yet but started it up and let it idle for a while, revved it a few times, no rasp with mine so far. No back seats in mine either so don’t have to worry about rattle. Will have a vid sometime tomorrow because it’s gotten too late/dark to make one today. Love the sound. Just what I was wanting and looking for. Hangs a little low but my car is low in the front with the Draglites & QAL's on. Gonna put on the SS wheels tomorrow and raise it up a bit. May run out to the track Fri. night, not sure yet and depends on if I can get a driveshaft loop back on it. Would have liked better clamps, but will switch them out down the road. Thanks TSP for your help and keeping us up to date on the ship dates. Would have liked to of had them a few weeks ago, but understand it was beyond your control.

well I took it all off last night, fixed the groud clearance issue, but I still am very dissapointed with the rasp. A little droan and rattles only at take off at low rpms. The rasp is only there during normal/casual driving. Seems like when you get on it and shift, there is nothing. It does roar though, very happy with that. I think I'll avoid welding for a couple of weeks so I can continue to tweak and dial it in.

I guess mine won't be here til next week so I guess I'll have to run open headers for a couple days. I don't know if thats good or bad. I am debating on whether or not to take the exhaust to a muffler shop and just let them deal with it. I don't know we'll see, still working on my header install. What a bitch!

Well. im getting mine on tuesday. Ill be putting them on that week. All i have to say is they better fit good for the money and wait. reading these horror stories about fitment and rasp is ridiculous for the money. TSP had plenty of time to fit and test this system before selling it.I hope their fabricator didnt rush the orders either because they were backordered for a while. It seems like that is the case from what im hearing, i was also told there will be no rasp! Well ill see what happens when i get mine on, ill keep posted on the fitment, etc...

well 
I took 2 different people for rides tonight (both have fbods of course) and apparently my definition of rasp is no where near what rasp really is. they said that it definately wasn't any sort of rasp, so I stand humbly corrected. big props to TSP cuz I really starting to dig this system
