If you have it, let me see it/hear it. I cant believe I just heard of this brand today. I've been looking for a while now. I have a black LT4 and am looking for something that rocks which isn't shiny. The only pic I've seen so far is on a GS and the tips look black. That would be perfect.

You'll have to find it used either way, they are no longer made. Took me forever to find mine.

Not quite true....I just bought and received a brand new resonator kit directly from them. Dealt with a guy there named Joe Markovicz. He told me they can supply almost everything and still have some stock of "power capsules" (as they call the tunable mufflers)

Apparently there is a supplier problem for the capsules.

His phone number is 887-376-9739, a very helpful guy...

Good luck
Hans

A full system is no longer in stock however, they wont sell you one. They didnt have one 3 years ago when the supply problems started, and they definitely dont now. They have relatively few pieces for replacement still in stock.

You will have to buy a setup used.

I sold a set of capsuls a while back. They did have a used y-pipe in stock but that was it.

If you want to hear what they sound like on a 383 C4 check this out:

I had Power Effects (I enjoyed the sound) before my current exhaust.

I have these and love them, however, I've taken the mufflers off and been running this way for over 6 months now. Can't tell any difference in sound except at idle.

Keep an eye on Ebay, they do come up there occasionally. I've got an LTx PE system that I'm not using anymore, but I really haven't decided whether to let it go or not yet.
