Rob, any plans of offering a cat-back version or is the DP such that it cannot be separated from the rest of the system?

Yes, the CBE is available for pre-order as well!

Because it's not! (At least what was in that video wasn't)

Do you know what a dual exhaust is..? I'm not knocking his creation, but there is no need to insist it's a "true" dual... when it is not!

Though, Rob has said that his exhaust is still in developement and will be a TBE (turbo back exhaust), so all we can do is wait and see. I am also curious about the weight of this exhaust and whether-or-not that coating is thermal guard of some sorts...?

true dual would mean that there are essentially two separate exhaust systems...one for each side of the engine. Since we have a single turbo this is simply not possible on our cars since the exhaust has to run though the single turbo to spool it. Also, true dual is still used when the two systems connect briefly at some sort of cross pipe which help balance the exhaust pulses. All you need to know is that unless you see a dual turbo H6...you will probably never see true dual exhaust on a Subaru.

We only use the highest quality in U.S. made aluminum and stainless.

Please let me know if you have any further questions!

I Don't think that being U.S. made materials are strong selling points for your expensive piece considering we are driving Japanese cars. Glad to see a unique system on the market but understand that downpipes can be had for pretty cheap now and pipes with glasspacks can't really cost that much.
+1 for a unique idea!

Made with U.S. material is a strong selling point. Due to companies farming the material over seas to get replicated. They come back plated, thinner material, etc.... Not to mention material has gone up in price in the U.S. along with gas and everything else. UPS has even started to add a $16 fuel fee on top shipping quotes. Dont worry we currently use DHL .

Please do not assume they are glasspacks on the exhaust system. We do not use those. If you would like to search for 2008 turbo back exhausts systems, you will notice we are not expensive at all.

Please do not hesistate to ask me any further questions.
