Have you seen the Harakiri version yet? Well the final mock up isn't put yet, but its a single with the attached muffler. I'll post pics of mine as soon as Tony gets one made for me. It should look great with my bumper tuck/quiet the car down a lot from the Shockwave.
Having installed my Shockwave, i bet i could swap between the Harakiri and shockwave tail section in less that 2 minutes. Mild to wild when wanted.

The VQ will list for $1250.
For a short time it will be introduced with a special where it also includes the Shockwave axleback section so you effectively have two entirely different sounding exhaust systems for the price of one, and also free shipping in the lower 48 states.
This "two exhaust system" package offers all the fun of the Shockwave and the easy cruisability of VQ.

I'd be putting it on my '06 with stock cats. I need to keep the cats because:
1. I have to pass emissions
2. Stock cats required for B-Stock
3. No sense in unnecessarily worsening air quality problems.

Tony, I'm very interested. Please forgive my noob questions, but does the VQ exhaust system package include the XYZ pipe as well for $1250 shipped?

40 CFR
an understanding on Code of Federal Regulations is necessary particularly 40CFR part 86 (and others)... here is some info:
FEDERAL LAWS
Please familiarize yourself with the following federal laws and regulations before ordering
CONDITIONS FOR REPLACEMENT
To any person repairing or installing any exhaust system, the Clean Air Act, as amended 1990, requires that:
AFTERMARKET CATALYTIC CONVERTERS MAY ONLY BE INSTALLED IN THE FOLLOWING SITUATIONS:
1. If the vehicle is missing a converter; *
2. If a State or local inspection program has determined that the existing converter has been lead-poisoned, damaged, or otherwise rendered ineffective and needs replacement. Retain a copy of this statement from any government inspection or enforcement agency for your records;
3. If the vehicle is over five (5) years old, or has more than 50,000 miles, or eight (8) years old or 80,000 miles for 1995 and newer model vehicles, AND a legitimate need for replacement has been established and documented.* This situation normally would include only plugged converters or those damaged to the point where unrepairable exhaust leaks are present. See * DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS below.
Catalytic converters are emission control devices which are designed to last the life of the vehicle and do not normally require replacement. Furthermore, if the vehicle is properly used and maintained, original converters are covered by the emissions control warranty for 5 years/50,000 miles, or 8 years/80,000 miles for 1995 and newer models. Federal law prohibits any person from replacing these devices except under limited circumstances (ABOVE).
* DOCUMENTATION REQUIREMENTS *
In order to establish and document that the circumstances permitting replacement of an original or missing converter with an aftermarket converter meeting the required performance criteria exist, the Installer must complete the INSTALLER’S WARRANTY SHEET. The installer and the vehicle owner must sign the statement establishing and documenting catalytic converter replacement justification.
- A copy of the completed warranty sheet must be attached to the invoice and retained by the installer for six (6) months
.
- Also, the replaced converter(s), if any, must be retained by the installer for at least fifteen (15) days from the date of installation.
- The installer must install each replacement catalytic converter according to EPA policy, as described in the INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS FOR AFTERMARKET CATALYTIC CONVERTERS
EFFECTIVE BY FEDERAL POLICY, AUGUST 5, 1986
The following is the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulations* for the proper installation of replacement catalytic converters:
1. Replacement catalytic converters may be installed only in situations as defined in the CONDITIONS FOR REPLACEMENT.
2. Replacement catalytic converters must be installed in the same location as the original converter.
3. Replacement catalytic converters must be the same type of converter as the original converter (i.e., oxidation, three-way, or three-way-plus oxidation);
4. Replacement catalytic converters must be the proper converter for the vehicle application as determined and specified by the manufacturer;
5. Replacement catalytic converters must be connected properly to any existing air injection or temperature or oxygen sensing components on the vehicle.
6. Replacement catalytic converters must be installed with all the other required converters for the particular application if more than one converter was installed originally by the vehicle manufacturer; or in the case of new aftermarket converters, if more than one converter was specified by the converter manufacturer;
7. Installers must complete the INSTALLER’S WARRANTY SHEET, and sign it, as also the vehicle owner.
*VIOLATIONS of one or more of these installation requirements could result in the installer being liable for a penalty of up to $25,000 for each violation, under provisions set forth in the EPA tampering prohibition law specified in Section 203 of the Clean Air Act, 42 US Code, Section 7522, amended in 1990, and under the CARB rules and regulations pertaining to aftermarket catalytic converters.
