Are there any questions you have about this exhaust that we can answer? We've sold plenty of Armytrix systems.

Hey,

Depending on which tip system you choose it comes out to about $4700 MSRP. It is more pricey because its a "brand name" type of exhaust, its popular among the car community for lot of Youtubers and influencers running their system. Also it has valves to open and close ( be loud /quiet where other exhausts don't) I believe this system is not carb compliant as it replaces the factory cats.

Josh, really appreciate the info, because if it doesn't pass California smog, i will pass on this car, unless you have any suggestions?

I don't think there's much of a reason to spend money on an Armytrix exhaust when manufacturers like @Jamie@dundonmotorsports, @Soul Performance, @JCR-Porsche, @gmgracing, etc. exist. Armytrix, to me, is the brand that endorses YouTubers and have generally overall lower quality products, and spends more of their money on marketing than actual R&D. It feels, dare I say it, like the juvenile option to an otherwise polished list of exhaust manufacturers with a good reputation and solid products found on these forums.

I am ignorant to California laws and how they work, but I'm sure an actual representative of the aforementioned manufacturers would be more than happy to supply you with an alternative to Armytrix.

And in regards to valves - there are plenty of aftermarket options that retain valve function. I have no clue where the claim that many other exhausts don't have valve functionality - there's usually an option to have it. JCR's race pipe can be purchased with valves or without; Soul's modular system has a valve option, Dundon's full long tube headers system can go into their lifetime center muffler and retain the valves, and so forth.

I suppose my point isn't "don't buy Armytrix" as much as "why buy Armytrix when there are better products at a similar price". Just my $.02

Yes, i would agree with you, wish the car had GMG, Shark, GRP, etc on it, but sadly this car has armytrix on it. And so far, i cant get a hold of armytrix, i sent email, i dm on instagram, no reply, so ya, not good service. When i called GMG, they picked up and i chatted with them, simply enough. Customer service is everything.

Literally the last exhaust system I would ever put on a GT3. Unless you have 1,000,000 youtube followers

I think everyone is missing the point hes looking at a car with this exhaust already installed. Its OK and if you don't like it, it can very easily be removed/replaced (ill trade you my stock exhaust for it lol haha), if you like the car this shouldn't be the deciding factor.
Its also just a catback so your stock cats are still there so youre good with CA smog.
