I'm sorry but from that picture of the "true" dual when its on the car it looks like some very low quality ricer exhaust that someone built in their garage and those single wall microphone tips only add to this image. Just imo

Awesome. I cant wait for this and will definately be buying this (can I be a tester?
)I have also found out while staging in 95-110 deg. temps that the ECU defaults to a more conservative timing map when the MAF gets really hot.

..I'm a little disappointed to say that the exhaust does look a little cheap once on the car. The pictures of the exhaust itself look much better. What size diameter tips are those? Hopefully it's just the pictures because I do love how the shockwave sounds.
Any other shots a little further away from the car? Different Angles?
Can't wait to see the Ti's...
Thanks,
~Adam

looks bad ***! Tony installed the exhaust today and wow it sounds like a beast...high rpms the car is def. and animal...the second I turned the car on my girl looked at me and just made a face lol...I loved it! I just bought a body kit and I hope the muffler fits with the rear bumper...it has that section that forms over where the muffler would be...in my case a big *** diffuser! But it sounds so nice with the berk hfc's...Very pleased with the shockwave...Looking forward to more motordyne products...Also will most likely upgrade to your dual shockwave set up later...along with any other part you make...you need a tester or a rep here in hawaii Im your man!!

Right on Ian! Thanks. 
It sounds awesome on stock cats and seriously wicked on test pipes.
Can you get a sound clip with the Berks once its had a little time to break in?
If you havn't broken it in already, take notice of the change of sound during break in. It will smooth out and become more progressive after two to three hours of use.

Forgive me if I missed this in the previous 20+ pages
Tony how much power has the xyz pipe dynoed over conventional y pipes?
Which of your setups will make the most power?
Diameter of the exhausts?
Again sorry if I missed this info earlier.

Its all delivered and ready to dyno.

The outside is polished to the point where smooth and no longer visible. The inside is visible, but it won't be after a good amount of driving. The inside will become black like any other tip.

Good job Tony, the Shockwave and TD look great. I'm still holding out for the VQ for my G35! As soon as it's ready you know what to do
