Everything is up and running minus the damage the carwash did to the rims and front lip...

Would you happen to have some pics of the actual downpipes that you received? If I'm not mistaken then ones on the pictures from their website are equipped with the GESI cats.

Here you go! I went with the heat shielding also.

Thank you for the pic! I guess I was wrong about the website picture being with the GESI cats.

The body of the GESI and HJS are similar in size its the internals that gives it away.

Yes, they still open with the M button or engine setting button in the center console. They did relocate the actuator and use a different spring.

Hmmm... this is a plus!

Just received my catless downpipes from vrsf! Installation when I get back from vacations!

The guys at Red Star just gave me a progress report saying that they received all the pieces and will be starting production of my downpipes very soon!!

Here are the pics that they sent me:

Dmitry and the guys are top notch! I'll proactive I had one little issue because of my installer putting it in slightly off and they were on top of it. Dmitry went above and beyond anything I've ever gotten from a manufacturer.

Did you have a chance to compare it fi-exhaust (i like popcorn sound it makes) or Akrapovic?

Contacted red star seller. Top communication, send first payment, expecting to get it delivered in a couple of weeks.
adamsar , if no objection, will keep updated on mine in this thread

Video inside: sport catalyser Gesi + stock exhaust.
Outside: gesi + red star.
If you want to hear the difference, better use headphones.[IMG]https://yadi.sk/i/99J3Hu6Zxm4OPQ[/IMG]
