I just got my car a few months ago and starting digging around. This seems to be the exhaust to have. Has anyone noticed a decrease in their city/hwy mileage?

I believe I did see a video on that install...
Cutting is a must if adding the type-s a-spec rear, yes?
Just in case or if I have to go back to the base eventually...
And other question.. is adding the type-s bumber to a 06 base possible? ...That might be cheaper than getting the whole a-spec...
Thanks,
paweł

Quick question, I would PM but still in my "trial" period. What did you use for your HID Fogs? I want to do 4300 k since i believe that is what my headlights are. Just curious what you went with... also have you done anything with the running lights?

make sure to check all email addresses they have including the Google checkout account you used if you went that route. Usually the reason you dont have a tracking # yet is because he's not sure where to ship it to. you can also shoot them an email to check but it does usually take a couple of days to get a response.

I think he just does this on the side. It does take him awhile to respond sometimes and you are usually just stuck waiting but he will get it done one way or another.... I feel ya, this has been a very long waiting process for this exhaust but I'm sure its worth it.

I am going crazy too. I got my tracking # and it had a delivery date of tomorrow but it looks like it hasnt even shipped yet. Guess he printed the label but didn't drop it off at the store? 
Oh and to top it off... some asshole hit my car today in a parking lot and left, no note. right before i get my exhaust, right on the back bumper. WTF!!!

I've been out of town this weekend thus couldn't get back to e-mails and I'm getting back to them today and tomorrow.
I mailed out the shipping labels directly to the manufacturer so they can ship it directly to minimize even further downtime, and their promised ship out date for last Friday apparently did not even make it. I've called all day today to receive no response so bear with me as I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. I know this has been mentioned repetitively but I really do apologize for this batches delivery time. We've been working with this manufacturer for a very long time, and although they usually are behind by 1-2 weeks, it's our first experience with them taking this long, and also not being responsive to contact.
On the bright side, I really think these are the last of the delays for real this time and these should be going into shipping within the next 1 or 2 days.

Mine got updated too, should be here the 24th!!! Yea my car doesn't look to great now, can't believe it happened right before the exhaust came in. Guess its better than it happening after and possibly damaging my new hotness.

yup and i think you are right, the frame appears to be good. but it also bent the bottom right of my trunk, so that sucks. Hopefully they can bang it out, not sure if I have to replace that yet....

^^ yup, this one looks nice, just expensive. https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ghlight=j-pipe
Yea after messing with my bolts all night i went to a shop to use their air tools, charged me $20 but made it soo easy. now they are new bolts, hopefully wont be as difficult this time around
