For some stupid reason it's in the "new products" section of their site, and not in the 944/951 section.

RKD do you mind telling us how much you paid?

Just curious, but is your car lowered? I have their 3" and my car is lowered about an inch and I can barely get out of my driveway without scraping something.

How much $$? Post some .mp3 of it. I'd like to hear it. What kind of muffler? What's the rice factor (i.e. 4" pipe in the back could easily be mistaken for bling ;-)?

Yes, my car is lowered. There is no gap at the tops of the tires. Looking from the rear the exhaust is the lowest thing under the car. Looks to be about 5 inches between the ground where the pipe goes under the axle at the lowest point. Drove it around all morning and haven't noticed any scraping, but I do have the AIR splitter and am careful to protect it. That may make some difference. The huge muffler is set back under the car a little farther than stock and that big long pipe looks like a howitzer muzzle sticking out from under the car.

It is a little louder, smoother, and melodic sounding under load from the driver's seat compared to the Cayenne commercialesq recording I made in the driveway last night.

Sorry, but I don't know how much it is going to end up costing me. Mike and Dave were installing and tuning the Stage II Intercooler, MafterBurner, 55# injectors, Hard pipes, Dual Port Wastegate and tracking down various vaccum/boost leaks and installed the 4 inch prototype off David's car. They don't have any production models in yet.

How in the world does a 4inch pipe fit up there??? That is insane!

EDIT: I just read their site and it says it starts as a 3inch and then grows to a 3.5 and finally to a 4inch.

I think it's 4" cat back or it goes to 4" just before it gets to the muffler. The picture looks like it's staged up to 4" right before the muffler.

That sounds like Sickness!! I heard a clip of their regular system but that sounds alot better... How is interior noise and driving around town at normal throttle?

Inside the car it's better. Just a little drony cruizin down the highway, but not bad. Around town makes me want to rev, rev, rev, waiting at stop lights. Maybe cause it's new. ON THROTTLE combined with the whirring suck noise of the MAF it sounds windup jet engine mad rocket launch.
