The tips need to be welded to the mufflers? Did you mean ready to ship end of next week?

That was a brilliant move to paint the B pipe! Especially in the North where we live.

Wow dude calm down and read some pages.
This is just the first few runs.
More ATLP Base should be coming in a month or more. I'm sure of it.

Please limit these base exhaust like you did with the quads. We want to be in the exclusive ATLP exhaust club.

I am sure Mike will chime in with his on this but after turning his attention to R&D and letting retailers such as heeltoe etc deal with order processing, shipping etc I can foresee him producing the quads and base model exhaust along with other products on a regular bases rather than batch productions. The demand is there so might as well expand.

Okay, sorry minor setback. Shipping date is set to next week Tue/Wed.

As far as making these a limited batch, they will be somewhat. I only have so many tips that were ordered, but they will last quiet a while.

On a site note. I'm really satisfied with the way this exhaust came out. It's really got a decent amount of voice inside the cabin, but nothing that's overwhelming at all. Outside it sounds exotic. Fitment is very, very close because of the size of the tip. So make sure you guys don't have a bad fitting a-spec kit!

Man I tell you this has been a long wait, it better be well worth it Mike. I don't mind waiting a few more days. Just hope it arrives to my house before I go to Vegas on Memorial Day weekend.

Mike, your last two sentences worry me a little. The picture below from your sight makes it look like fitment is indeed very tight. Will the tips be hot enough to melt the A-spec kit if they are touching either side or the top of the kit? How much of a gap on both sides is there? Hard to tell from the picture. My OEM mufflers look centered around my opening so I'm thinking the kit is installed correctly. Here's hoping!

Bill,

The tips will not burn your a-spec, they are pretty well ventilated for. Just putting it out there for those who know that their A-spec kit isn't on right as that is a factor.

As far as the second batch, you have to contact Marcus at Heeltoeauto.com! He will have them soon!
