NICE! I'm loving how minimal that last bend is.

aen: is my monitor's brightness to low? I can't see any burn.

I can barely see the burn, but that is fairly significant. Thank you for the extra pics! I realize it's a little hard to just crawl under there with the car lowered.

Still looks great!

Its definetly possible if you are willing to go that far to avoid a slight angle in your exhaust. The axleback portion of the exhaust seems easily customizable.
I was gonna get these exhaust from them but

These are just too angled out for me, but they're really nice and with lots of options.

Seriously, how hard would it be to install it and take it to a muffler shop and have them fab up a little pipe in order to straighten it out? I already had the HKS on my car and that retarded thing was 1. Loud as hell, and 2. Angled like no ones business. Needless to say I took it off after getting pulled over a couple times, but now that I have my turbo installed, I'm going to go with this exhaust in 2.5 and just have a muffler shop fix it to come out straight.

Exhaust shipped to MD: Something like $429
Muffler shop fix: About 1 hour labor = $86
Total - ~$515

Not bad considering it's from the S-pipe back.

According to your first post, you ordered this and recieved it a week later? I ordered mine on Oct. 15th-ish, and still have yet to recieve it. After a week I emailed them and they told me they were building it, now it's almost been a month, and they won't respond to my emails. Their website doesn't have a phone number, if you have one, can you PM it to me. Any other suggestions would help, because I'm about a week from disputing the charge with my bank, and going elsewhere. When I spend $500, I'd like the company to keep me informed as to what's up with my product.

I got my exhaust in about 3 days. And I gained 20 hp +1 for Turbo Mafia. It does burn my bumper though.

cpavli1 I am in the same boat as you, I ordered my on Oct 4th, after 2 wks I emailed them and they said the same thing that is being processed and would ship wk3. I am going to inquire with my bank about the charge which will give me there phone number. I will post it for the people who haven't received the orders.

Well, I'd hate to ruin it for those who have had good experiences with them, but if I don't hear back from them in one week, they're going to be hearing from my bank and the Better Business Bureau. I work for the government, and the governments' lawyers work for me, so if they're reading this, I don't suggest they take it lightly. All I'm asking for is an email with an explaination, I don't think I'm being impatient or over reacting. Please, let me know if you feel otherwise.

Well I just got a message back from them saying that they will have my tracking information by this week. I also found this message on there website,

"We just found out that we are not getting all of your messages at our regular email address (sales@turbo-mafia.com). If you have emailed us in the last two weeks and haven't received an answer email from us please forward your email to our new address (turbomafia@yahoo.com). "

Their "NEW" email address is a Yahoo address?
I hope this was just a quick fix till they get their IT guys to fix their mail server.

Guys, we are finally getting back to regular business around here. There were some crazy wild fires and we had to evacuate one of our shops. Also one our main guys had his house burn down in the fires. All these natural disasters has put a 2 week delay in everything. Please be patient with us as we are shipping all orders this week and next week. Thanks again
