Default LA Performance Exhaust Prototype

I just got the prototype of our new exhaust system installed on my car. It is a 3" stainless steel system with 4" resonated tips. It sounds amazing and gave the car a whole new character. We dynoed it just to see what would happen as my car has a H/C/I and the system was actually created with the FI crowd in mind. We expected to lose a few pounds of torque on the low end with a small gain up top. Instead, we were thrilled to discover that the new exhaust actually INCREASED torque and horsepower across the board. We are also going to test the system on a twin turbo car next week. I will post dyno results from both cars along with sound bytes soon. In the meantime, here are a few pics. Please let me know what you think.

Here is a link to a clip of the exhaust. I will get one of a turbo car on our dyno later this week.

Thanks to all who have given us feedback on the exhaust. We are offering the first 10 buyers an introductory price of 1199.00 + shipping for our 3" Exhaust with quad tips. This system is mandrel bent and made with 304 stainless steel.

For local purchasers we are also offering a 25% discount on installation.

What are we looking at as far as pricing goes? Also, how's the drone? It looks a lot like the B&B bullet system that I have now.

Very Nice ...Lots of C5 FI & Big Cube setups out here that could benefit from the sudden boom in 3" exhaust systems emerging
