Awesome... couple questions:

Did the process go smoothly for the installer? Any fitment issues?

Did you revise the tune to avoid a CEL?

Lastly, any difference in performance?

The installer had a couple of issues, there are two studs on each of the down pipes.
When he took the original pipes off one of the studs stayed in the original bracket as can been seen in the 2nd pic (on both sides) and one stayed in the manifold side, the one in the pic would not come out regardless of what he used so he had to make one up for both sides.
I havent revised the tune yet, (i will) but i also havent had a eml yet after doing about 50 miles.
I'm already running a tune and smaller pulley so difficult to tell but i will after having Stuart write me a tune rolling road it again.

Awesome and we would love to hear a sound clip if you get a chance. Also let us know if the check engine light ends up coming on. Do they make these for the V6?

I'll be doing the install myself, so any additional info or pics would be appreciated!

Would love to hear what these things sound like as I am also considering the mod.

Yes we do make them for the V6. The fitment split is actually 2WD/AWD.

We have 2WD variants available now, two lucky owners have AWD variants (only one side is different) to test fit and then those will go into production. There's a bit of a lag as we have the pipe section of this CNC bent and we have to wait on an external supplier.

Yes, you will get a CEL, P420 & P430 for cat efficiency. We can eliminate these with a tune via our hand-held.
