Well actually it's not quite the same. If you haven't seen the pictures i've took, it has a resonator for those who don't want a loud exhaust and also doesn't have a huge muffler sticking out of the back. I'm sure if a company like speedcorps(i'm sure they most likely will) or others were to sell it, it would be well below that 500 dollar price tag.

Yea mines pretty much the same, ruining off one resonator. And still sounds like the holy grail of exhaust notes hahahaha. Either way it won't matter once i go Turbo.

HKS axelback

$ 580.00 for a axelback?! That is crazy.............why spend that much on just sound and very little performance when you can get the ECU flash or headers for cheaper, and actually FEEL something after application?

Ordered mine from XS Engineering for about $250 and had it installed for 160 at a local shop. All things considered anything is better than stock, but now way in goods green earth should you have to pay 500+ for a muffler(just that)...

Found out from sending emails that this exhaust will be available in 2 weeks. Cheapest quote was from Speedcorps $458 shipped if I remember correctly. A lot of people are just taking pre-sale orders. However, most are charging the $5XX
