I think Josh ships to Canada. All you need to do is pay a little more for shipping. But I will shut up and let Josh answer your question. LOL

^Yes he does. $75 extra to ship to Calgary. I suspect that the closer you are to CT, the cheaper shipping *may* be.

I'm gettin' there....really want one of these!

Boy- you are not kidding. It's going to be a pain in the butt waiting for this, then I will want it installed right away, blah blah blah. I know after installation, I will drive the hell out of her just to listen!

I am going to put the list together today. The orders will be sent to the fabricator. It will take 2-3 weeks to manufacture all the exhausts and then anywhere from 3-5 bus days for shipping inside the cont US.

If you are a Canadian resident add $75 for shipping via UPS. It cannot ship via USPS; the package is too large.

Thanks for getting this order together for us. I think I can speak for all of us, we are excited as hell to get these bolted on.
Any way you can let us know once they are completed or give us a tracking number once they've shipped? Thanks.

If you ordered a Base exhaust, then no, you dont have to.
But if you ordered a Type-S exhaust for the Base TL, then i believe you will have to cut the bumper and add the type-s aspec rear lip

Sorry I missed out on this GB but I came across a sweet deal on a CT exhaust that I couldnt pass up. Thanks Josh for being very patient with everyone and extending the GB for us. Make sure you guys post some sweet vids when you get them.

The base exhaust looks good on a base tl, not goofy at all. Looks better with aspec though.

Install question XLR8 Exhaust

I live in an area where I'll be lucky to find a good enough welder/exhaust shop to do my install. I think I found one! "will be meeting him in the morning".

What's a fair price to get it done? I don't mind paying more for a quality job. Those of you that have already installed your XLR8 exhaust please chime in.

Yeah, I couldn't take part on this round either but hopefully there's another down the road! Props to Josh for making this happen!

In the meantime, you guys post some good vids once you get those systems installed....especially the resonated!

Why didn't you do it all at one time? It would have been simpler. How is it with those changes?

The reason I did not do it all at once, is because I wanted to se what would only j-pipe and test pipe do. The car now feels like it has more power since there is no restriction from the j pipe anymore. And it changed the exhaust sound a bit. But with exlr8 it will be even more sexy. LOL

Worth the wait guys

Put my XLR8 exhaust on yesterday

Looks totally sick on the car

I took the car over to my dad's to show him. My dads one of those guys that hates anything foreign and especially if it's mine!!! LOL

So I'm standing next to him behind the car, my son gets in to start it and before my dad can finish saying the tips are to big, " A rumble of pure sexy v6 comes out of the back of the car.

I swear the biggest smile came over my dad's face "' like a kid getting a new bike for Christmas" as he said, Now that's what a car should sound like! "man that sounds good" He was excited as hell. He NEVER get's excited!

Guys, That was a moment I'll never forget.



While your wait may be a pain in the butt, rest assured it's worth it

Can't wait for the J-pipe and Teins to be installed next. But for now.............. I feel like taking a drive.

Good to hear. I can't wait for mine to show at the front door.

I just got the v2 j-pipe and test pipe and it changed the stock exhaust note a bit.

For the 3rd cat, are you going w/ test pipe or race pipe?

I installed the test pipe and w/ my stock exhaust stage 1 sound really good. I am surprised.

Talk about bad timing. For a while I've wanted to upgrade to a Type S bumper and Quad Exhaust but never wanted to go thru the whole conversion process. Now right after this GB closes, my car gets rear ended and I have the chance to get a Type S bumper .
