Looks like you have enough interest to start figuring out some prices and checking with Astroboy on vendor status.

They should...RJ kit's exhaust cutouts are the same as stock (to be able to fit the stock tips).

To all those asking about the fitment, they should be able to fit under both a-spec and RJ.

I might need someone in the future for fitment purposes, but I will let you guys officially know when. Please don't PM me or inquiry just yet.

LOL! That's real confidence now Trance.

Depends how much of course, but I don't see tips being more than $40 a set.

umm, I think they are going to be a lot more than that. Considering that a good quality set of magnaflow tips runs between 40-120 each...

Please add me to the list. I put out the quad tip feeler a year ago and most people thought I was crazy -- they said the TL would be Pontiac-ified with quad tips... I think the stock tips are ugly... staggered quads would be awesome (staggered to match the angle of the rear bumper)

**UPDATE**

So, I received the prototype tips, and everything looks fine except there is one small predicament.

Seems like the method they use to roll the tips (double walled) is creating "TINY" ridges/creases every once in a while that you can't really see once it's on the car but nonetheless its there. I will contact the guy to see if this is only a case on the prototype, or if this is how they are made.

I tried to capture it to the best of my ability on the camera, but it's really small and you really cannot even tell its there once your driving for 5 minutes (exhaust dust).You can see it a little bit in the last picture.

As far as the fitment, it's seems to be very close, even better than stock. The staggered setup matches perfectly with the stock bumper slant, as well as the downward slope, which compliments the stock rear, or the aspec rear very well.

I've included some sample pictures, and I will look into getting these installed pretty soon.

Once I get word on the quality finish, I will let him know the amount we are looking at ordering, and I'll update this thread. Stay posted!

Those do look mighty nice! I can't wait to see some pics of them on your car.

I also compliment you on your ability to take pictures from relevant angles...something that seems lost on a few people.
