Buddy I agree excellent made & looks & sound also but the $$$ . I understand you get what you pay for thing but for almost half the price you can get almost as good price here is if your car has NPP. I not cost to get this is almost 3,k more.

But again love the sound but not for the diff.

I have Akrapović exhausts on my bikes and want this for my GS. Those carbon fiber tips are mind blowing! My budget will probably have me buying Borla with black tips lol!

By the time I added the exhaust, x pipe, and short tube headers and install I would be close to what a super charger install would cost.
Now on the other hand if I could find the exhaust for about $2,500 would highly consider buying one.

I definitely need to do this to mine. How did you prep the polished area to accept paint, and what paint did you use?

Green pad just sand over it a little not come off yet but also not put 200 miles on it also. But no chips r cracks also buddy like the look.

To the other guy above call them on the black tips see what you find out. Unless they have come up with them in the last 6 months. I was told from the factory in tenn was going to remove them from the site.

Price was also like 150.00 more.
