Default APS ST Exhaust?

Posted this question in the exhaust forum but no luck. Ordered the APS ST kit and was hoping to get the APS ST Exhaust but I have found out that they have discontinued this and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Can anyone give me their recomendation for a good exhaust for this set up? So far I have:
Stock
Nismo
Borla?

Would like to know what other APS ST folks are using? Or if anyone knows where I can get the APS ST exhaust.
Thanx

Dude, read the signs:

a) Discontinued ST exhaust.
b) Almost 20% price reduction for the APS ST.
I have a strong feeling that they are clearing the ST stock before they pull the plug on the damn thing.
You will end up with a kit with no replacement parts and if god forbid you crash and need to replace stuff, you'll have to get them fabbed.

If I were you I'd switch the order to TN ASAP. If you run this by MRC, they'll be like "don't listen to this idiot Oleg, who's been shopping for an FI kit for 2 years." They will be right, don't listen to me.
Look at the facts, make your decisions and take your risks.

It cannot be too late. Call them tomorrow morning as the first thing and try to switch to a TN kit. You'll still have store credit, I'm sure. Even if they charge a stocking fee, I'd still get out of the APS ST.
I would not believe it for a second that their dealers were not aware of this.

2 years ago I decided to go for the house instead of FI. While I was putting the down payment together, I was shopping for the FI hoping to jump into it as soon as possible. But the whole house thing took a bit longer and ended up costing a bit more then I expected...

Wrong - exhaust not discontinued

b) Almost 20% price reduction for the APS ST.
Wrong - price drop was to stir the pot a bit, increase competition and move some kits

APS needs to ship some of the st exhausts to the states asap. there are some of us that didnt believe you needed the st exhaust with the kit. i don't have any boost problems but would like the more mellow tone that the aps exhaust provides. if you are reading this peter, you guys need to ship a bunch of these stateside to complement the price drop on the single turbo kit.

I never understood why ppl speculate and then post their opinions online without any facts. Here is a statement from Peter:

On the ST exhaust issue, APS has more systems planned for production, these ex systems should be available in approx 4 to 5 weeks time. Many thanks,

Peter,

APS
