This looks like the exhaust I been waiting for but like ZERO said... Does it burn the bumper?? I'll be having the Kaminari kit on mine soon and a burnt bumper would hella suck... only reason I didn't purchase the Megan. I know there is some fitment issues but for $600 this exhaust should be a painless install. No fab required!
In the end what you paid for is what you get.

They designed this system around the OEM bumper, no melting/burning with their design As for it fitting the Kaminari properly, your gonna have to take a chance.

YES.. You pay for what you get. And our N2 is running almost a month without burning a bumper. And no complaints about anything. He is happy with it.

Just to ask favor thru members... Any one has OEM PULLEYS ? Water, Power, Crank ones... Can any one donated us for R&D ? or trade for money?
Thanks

Well... No worries, It is after cat connected with ARK vatbak system. You're using oem cat. NO EMMISSION Problem with ARK.

yeah thats awesome but like I said b4 I have the 2.5 draxxas.

I wouldnt wanna get this exhaust cuz I do....the pipe between the s-pipe flange and the begining of the cat would stay stock.

so I would have 2.5(spipe) then stock size then the 2.5 exhaaust system.

that to me wouldnt flow to well. cuz then I would dish out more money to have that bumped up to 2.5"

hey chub.. its actually better that you will have the stock cat with your high flowing system because you will be creating some back pressure which is sometimes a good thing, and you will regain some of the bottom end you lost with all your other mods.

well its beneficial to have that part with some back pressure..

for my exhaust i will be doing the whole mid pipe 2.5 inch.. and have them just cut the cat off and reweld onto the new midpipe... you can do the same, it will only cost you like 20 bux or something
