I just spoke with GRD earlier this week. Everyone is out of stock at this time. GRD has about 10 sets coming in hopefully by the end of the week. He has a few already spoken for and if you want a set, just place an order through their website:
www.GRDperformance.com

Good luck

hell no.. but they sure do sound good. Rasp will be loud, but very brief. Only thing is though, even though its breif, its right at the point where the car really kicks, so you tend to hear it alot. Right around 3600-4500rpm. Its a sweet sound before, and right after however.. i love them, only thing i'm thinking of doing if getting a custom made X pipe w/ resonators right next to the test pipes, hopefully that'll cure the rasp.

So what do you do then when it's time to test for emissions...? Just switch back to stock...?

I hate to tell you this but your wrong. Everything APS doesn't go through grd. APS dealers order and get there products directly from aps grd has nothing to do with it. That's just bad info you gave out research first before making a bold statment like that.

it isn't entirely wrong. GRD is the biggest stocking dealer and other vendors out there really do get APS parts through GRD. In fact, from what I have seen, most do.

What you are saying is true, Japtrix, like any authorized dealer, can and do get APS stuff driectly from APS as well.

All that said, if GRD is out of stock, I would say there is a pretty good chance everyone else is out of stock as well.

Zivman, I've seen Japtrix get there orders from aps direct not grd. Not to say that GRD isn't APS's largest stocking dealer, but to say that if they don't have it nobody does is misleading. I'm sure dealers will sell to each other to help each other out if they are out of stock on a item.

Japrix most definitely orders directly from APS. I am just saying that if GRD is out of stock, most likely every dealer is.

Zivman, I understand your post. My comment was really towards plumpzz. The information he was giving to the other member was wrong. But as far as stock is concerned it all depends on what each company orders to keep on hand.
