Performance peddler has the exhaust in stock for $255 including shipping. A few words of warning. I purchased the exhaust and had it installed today. The exhaust tips were not straight, so when I took it to my muffler shop they had to do some creative bending with a crowbar. The exhaust had a few dings on it, nothing that would affect performance. I think the dings came from shipping and the lack of packing when it was shipped to me, the exhaust came in a large box without any bubble wrap or foam. As far as the sound, it went from a mild mannered cat to a tiger. I like the difference, but it is LOUD. For the amount of money I paid, I'm satisfied.

Yep...

...sorry about that last post - I was searching for the wrong part Anyhoo, ordered a copy for myself last Thursday. Had a lengthy conversation with Brad K. at the Peddler, and discovered that they actually supply Detroit Tuned direct. Detroit then adds a third pipe to the system, which explains the additional cost. The one thing I had difficulty getting a straight answer on, though, was whether this was a true cat-back system. Even contacted Maremont, who's tech rep didn't know anything more than what he could read from the catalog Thanks for the info LIMSTER I've also got a Helix/OBX header on the way, so if you don't post some clips soon, I will


Looking forward...

It sounds good. The quality looks good, and it's inexpensive.

What The Hell...?

...just received our copy at the shop - fully bubble wrapped and foam blocked - and there is a third pipe in there (reference my last post) So the only drawback thus far has been the gross misinformation provided by both Maremont and Performance Peddler. This doesn't take away from the quality of the exhaust, however. Fortunately, we didn't suffer LIMSTER's misfortune - no dings, and upon an informal mockup, everything appears square More after installation with HELIX/OBX header.

Here is a recent video from SCANDUNE - hope it helps:

yeah, I called today... he told me $375.... I mentioned what you posted yesterday, and he asked where I lived. Turns out they're in Detroit, which is an hour away from me. He said he'd do 250 if I came to pick it up...

I'd much rather support Chad at Detroit Tuned than a shady company like this.

thats very odd b/c i made it clear if i posted about the company on here if he would keep that price and he said def. he said it would be $250 shipped to most areas and a few beans more for spots further away like Cali he said which is odd cuz i thought im the same distance to him as cali would be or maybe im wrong

He did start out with the advertised price on there site and i said someone else just bought it for less and then he opened up with the finally price i got it for.

Do you have stock header or OBX?

I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

I did find one thing i didnt like about the exhaust if no one else noticed. Inside the tips you can see the cutout made into the cross pipe for the mufflers not being fully cut out to match the inner pipe diameter for the tips. Instead they only cut out oval openings that are half the width of the inner pipe diameter. i dont even know if i can get a tool in there to cut the opening bigger
