An accurate one, no. Q3 would be my general haphazard guesstimate for production availability.

Copy. Not too far away.

How much are these exhausts installed ?

How much was the exhaust system installed?

One more question. Why not an H pipe option on your system? H for a deeper tone, X for a higher pitched tone.

I've only seen straight or X pipe. But no H pipes for some reason on any system out there.

X-pipes flow better than H-pipes is the predominant reason. H-pipes also tend to be more susceptible to introducing larger drone ranges you have to then try to combat. I can't speak for other manufacturers but our exhaust development process has been pretty rigid in a specific formula for a long time in that the axleback portion of the system is utilized as the primary adjuster of tone (deeper). Yes there is a volume increase as well but its a secondary goal to the tone and ensuring a lack of drone. The midpipe/x-pipe/resonator delete on the other hand is primarily a volume enhancer. Deeper/bassier tones that a H-pipe would generate don't elicit the same percieved volume increase that an X does as well.

Good info!

I also meant to ask if you plan on making the exhaust tips angled like the stock tips for a cleaner look.

No plans at present but given enough demand its entirely possible down the road.
