They sent me an E-mail today inviting me to an open house with that picture attached. Wish I were nearby! I would love to see their welding & polishing process. Now only if I didn't sink so much money into my money pit, I could have bought the exhaust and the car to go along with it!

Well, they outsource the majority of their products to a country far away starting with the letter C......

They make quite a point of saying that their 951 exhaust is made in the USA - like a million times - in their video.

I'm looking at my drab OE exhaust tip and getting ideas...

This is not the case.

Thanks for setting that straight Chris! I knew there was no way something that nice came from China and I am in China right now! Your exhaust is one of my best purchases for any of my cars and I have many. Alex was also great to work with.

Still have my show-polish Fabspeed 3" exhaust with their test pipe and maxflow muffler since 2005 and love it. Had to get SFR to fab me the downpipe however, with the stock ear mod, as for some reason my shop told me that Fabspeed DP doesn't fit otherwise I'd have used all Fabspeed exhaust.

I have the full turbo back and did not have any issues mounting it. The sound, performance, and looks are amazing. This exhaust belongs on Crazy Eddie's car though! Only he has enough Bling to do it justice. I am shocked how it retains the mirror finish with little to no work.

'stock ear mod' - do tell... is this the mounting tab?

So Fabspeed will put one of the stock ear ends on one of their pipes for us? I like that idea and want this when I swap out my turbo/downpipe (all ready have the Fabspeed downpipe, guess I need to have it mod'ed).
