The Spin Tech will hook up to any system, is all SS, and is available now. Actually, it's been available for nearly a year in both two and four tip versions.

Our set up will hook up to any system that a stock cat back can hook to. The LG 3" cat back system is also full 304 Stainless steel.

In addition, ours has our own adapter that comes with it to hook up to ANY header system that has a 3" X pipe also. We just wanted to make sure that if there were any out there with a full 3" X pipe system, that our cat back mufflers would fit properly.

no problem here. IT is just going to be the best 3" cat back on the market, but that is the way we design things.

If our's did n't make power, we would have changed the design.

Thanks

Lou, thank you for the complete layout of how your new 3" catback will work with 3" X-pipe on the market. I can not wait to see the new product

Was there additional tuning done between dynos? The performance improvements you show are significant...I am just trying to determine if there were any other factors in the mix such as a new tune.

No. No tuning done, just a back to back.

Thanks

Random Tech has had a 3" stainless cat back for C5s for quite a while. Friend of mine had one on an 01 convertible. Sounded great, and the car made over 350 at the wheels with just headers, high flow cats, x-pipe and ported throttle body.

Lou,

What kind of mufflers are used on your new cat-back, and what kind of tips will it be coming with??? Reason I ask is because of the TT kit going on my car, I am mildly worried about sound and backpressure through the Corsa Indy's I have, but I love my Daytona tips. If you have something comparable that would work great without choking up the exhaust in a turbo app, I may bite.
