I'm right below Lexington. There's another tc in town with an almost identical setup as me and another with an s/c. tC's are getting to be pretty common here unfortunately.

Yeah whenever I go home to KY they are everywhere. I'm lucky if I see 3 a month here in Detroit. I still get people wondering was it is.

They're already getting riced out too. There's one running around town that's stock but it's got a big banner across the windsheild that says "One Bad tC" From what I've heard it's trying to race everybody as well I'm trying to do small cosmetic things to mine but still look very close to stock so no one will know what's under the hood.

To bad it doesn't have a resonator. Why is it so expensive for parts for the TC. I've got friend spending 800 on a full mandrel bent exhaust, header included, polished SS with resonators and high flow cat for his Subaru.... yet we continue to see products pieced together in the hopes that it will work. This 300 dollar product is an expensive bandaid that will likely have to be cut and have a resonator add. Where is that great exhaust solution for the TC? ZPI step up and sell us one whole kit for the love of god for a decent price.

I think mine is right cause it says 12 pounds. There is no way an s-pipe weights 12 pounds. Weird thing is that UPS.com says it will be here tomorrow and it shipped out today. UPS.com says it was from Milan, OH, how bout yours?

mine weighs 12 too. It doesn't say where it's coming from or a date, just that the information was received.

Well when I got my S-pipe from CC it was only like 5 pounds so I would think 12 would be about right.

Well I'm hoping sence I have no headers that I wont get a rasp from just a mid pipe. Kenny at ZPI said it should sound just about it is now only slightly louder. I'm putting off the header idea because I might be going turbo when the weather gets better up here

OK installed it tonight and wow.....LOUD! Beware resonator is needed! Like I said Im only running S-pipe, mid pipe and TRD axel back. No headers. I started it up and was blown aways on how loud it is. I'm hoping if I give it a few days to break in it might quite down alittle but I see a resonator in my future. Other then that the install went great. Everything fits great and looks amazing. It rev's sooo much easier now! Pulls nice on a highway downshift.

Sounds good, I'm getting mine put on next week with the resonator so I'll do a review too and maybe sound clips if I can get them.
