Yes! Dropped the car off yesterday. They are getting it up on a lift tomorrow to begin disassembly to ensure a true plug and play direct fit system. In pretty excited myself. Will post pictures of progress when I get them.

I'm in if the price and sound are right. Quad tips. No preference on finish. I am too lazy to clean polished tips so they end up looking black anyway

***Update***
After trying 5 different cans to find the right sound we were looking for, not too loud, more aggressive than stock, polished, single unit, no drone, and improved horsepower... We have landed on one and are beginning to make the first production unit. This will be a full stainless steel unit including the powder coated tips. We will have pictures on and off the car, sound clips, and dyno video hopefully this week. We decided to make the tips quad staggered black powder coated similar to the Meisterschaft System but not nearly as loud, and no valves. Sorry again for the delay everyone, we had a family health scare and work has been really busy too. We decided that once we get the marketing stuff together for you guys, we would make the units in batches of 10. The price will remain at $1,500.00 for the unit and after 10 deposits are received it will be about 2-3 weeks until they are at your door (US). Looking forward to the feedback and excited that we were able to do something that is quality and affordable for the community. P.S. If anyone is willing to send in a picture of the underside of their 35i, we would like to compare the fitment to see if the system would be universal and if not, what kind of fab work would be needed either by your exhaust shop or if we could make an adapter to make things plug and play.

Do you know the stainless grade and who the manufacturer of the can is?
Once the units are produced can you post photos of the welds and connections?

The V8 exhaust will not fit the 35i. If you're building a catback, you'll need a single 3" pipe leading up to muffler. If you're looking for an axle back, you'll need to cut 3" pipe mid way and attach a y-pipe, leading to the mufflers. I can't take a pic from underside but see attachments below. Other issue is sound and drone. What might sound good on the V8 doesn't mean it will sound good on I6. There's still the chance it drones on smaller engine, even if it doesn't on the 50i. |

Yes, got the last can on the other day and tested it for a few days. It started droning so we have been testing this new one and it sounds great. We made an x pipe running into it which also adds a great gurgle.
The powder coated tips should be back tomorrow and once the unit is polished, we will start the photo shoot. Thanks for the patience, you won't be disappointed. |

Pretty sure no one will be mad if you say things just didn't go as planned or it was a PITA to get an exhaust to sound good without it taking up more of your and shops time
