But it’s the sound of this system that truly excites us. At wide-open throttle, the exhaust unleashes a ferocious roar, yet it remains refined and civilized during daily driving and cruising. This perfect balance is achieved through straight-through tubing, OEM-controlled exhaust valves, dual Helmholtz resonators, and the absence of sound-absorbing materials that could alter the pure exhaust tone. When you floor the throttle, the valves open, channeling exhaust gases through a straight, unrestricted path, maximizing power and preserving the exhilarating soundtrack. However, when you’re cruising around town or embarking on a long highway journey, the valves close, and the Helmholtz resonators work their magic, canceling out unwanted drone frequencies as sound waves collide within the offset tubing. This isn’t just theory—our engineers utilized advanced 3D sound spectrographs to analyze and fine-tune the system’s frequencies, eliminating the tones nobody wants to hear. The result is a tone that’s as pleasant as it is powerful, ensuring an enjoyable driving experience for you and your passengers. Now that’s what we call Performance Without Compromise!

• Premium Quad Exhaust Tips: Features quad 5.2x3.9” (131mm x 99mm) matte carbon fiber tips with stainless steel inlays, adding a high-end, customizable touch that exudes luxury.
• All T304 Stainless Steel Construction: Constructed entirely from durable, brushed T304 stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting quality, resistance to corrosion, and a striking appearance.
• Innovative Sound Engineering: Dual OEM-controlled valves and dual Helmholtz drone elimination resonators work together to deliver an exhilarating exhaust note at wide-open throttle while maintaining a civilized tone during cruising.
• Unrestricted Performance: The straight-through 3” (76mm) to quad 2.5” (63.5mm) mandrel-bent tubing ensures maximum exhaust flow. 100% unrestrictive design with valves open significantly outperforms the factory system, which narrows to 50mm.
• Optimized Power Delivery: Experience improved turbocharger response with peak gains of 5 AWHP and 4 FT-LBS of torque at all four wheels, enhancing acceleration and overall driving performance.
• Pure Exhaust Sound: The system avoids packing or sound absorption materials, preserving the natural exhaust note. Advanced 3D spectrograph aided tuning to eliminate unwanted drone frequencies for a pleasant driving experience.
• Exceptional Build Quality: Strong TIG welding throughout and precision bracketry ensure a perfect fit every time, with no sagging or misalignment, for a professional-grade installation at any skill level, every time.
• Easy Installation: Low-profile butt clamps allow for a simple, no-cut installation, making it a plug-and-play upgrade with the factory system, including a removable reducer for seamless integration.
• Customizable Tips: The exhaust tips are removable and can be swapped for other designs, giving you the freedom to tailor the system’s appearance to your personal style.
