Well I got word that the exhausts arent fully finished yet. Doesnt look like there is an eta, but hopefully its soon. Its been almost a month since they were supposed to ship out the new ones.

I guess I cant complain too much they are working to get them right and should be great once they ship them out. Waiting just isnt my strong suit.

I came home to a big brown box in front of my door today. I'm so excited! I will have the new exhaust on by tomorrow morning. Videos and comments will follow. Stay tuned. Thank you very much Draxas.

Awesome! I got mine installed today. It sounds amazing. I am very pleased with it. It has a nice deep tone but its not overly loud. For me the sound is exactly like I'd want on an aftermarket exhaust system.

I'll try to get pics and videos up soon. Gotta get camera back from a friend who is out of town.

I put the new exhaust on and it sounds amazing. There is absolutely no rasp unless its full throttle up at about 6000 rpm. This new one is quieter than the old one as well. For people that havent read the last 5 pages or so... I ordered the full Draxas exhaust with a resonator and I already had a Megan header and Injen CAI. When I installed the exhaust, there was alot of rasp and I tried everything I knew to fix it. Draxas determined that maybe a faulty exhaust was shipped out. At no cost to me, Draxas suprised me with a brand new rear section that I installed today. This exhaust is beatiful and sounds amazing. My friends cannot believe the difference in this new exhaust compared to the bad one I had before. After I play with it more, I will give a more detailed review and I have taken 3 videos already, I am just working on editing them and converting them from 3gp to avi. Draxas exeeded all expectations that I had for any company and I want to personally thank them for their support and their continuing goal to have outstanding customer service.

If running FI then it would help much more because you would have alot more flow going through the exhaust.

so i cant say i am talking about the DraXas exhasut alone, because this is true for many exhaust systems. Though the 2.5" Exhaust DraXas has is ideal for NA or FI set-ups
What is FI? Also any clips yet of that exhaust Ryhian?

try to call him on his business phone, if you cant get ahold of him after a few days, or he doesnt respond to your PM's and or emails, let me know and I will contact him to see whats goin on with them.

I know a few people did get their replacement end pieces. but if you cant get ahold of him, PM me your name, address, and phone # so I can inform him of whose order im talking about.

thanks, zach
