I know... Me too... So far, I got the Artisan Spirits Side Fender Ducts installed. I still have to put Xpel on the Roof Spoiler because it gives another level of special finish like my side fender ducts. My detailer said that he just wrapped an ISF with CF and his CF looks faded. It might be a cheaper CF or it just got damaged from everything. Idk.

Anyways, here's my AS Side Fender Duct:

I know what you mean with that CF wrap. Good idea in wrapping the roof in expel. it will last a long time.
Loving the ducts, flows with your car's scheme well.

Gotta protect your goods. hehe! I can't wait for the other carbon fiber aero kits.

Anyways, I finally got my Full Meisterschaft Titanium Exhaust with Burned Tips after the longest wait ever. I'm still missing some pics while it was on the lift. I'll update it when I get them. I still have to do a video clip of Cold Start, Closed, Open Valves, Revving, and Passing by. It's hard to tell if there's a difference between stainless and titanium versions while in the car. But for sure it's freaking loud especially with PPE Headers. If I join the loudest exhaust contest, I think it's like Godlike level. lol! Hopefully, RCF500 can share his upcoming Helmholtz Resonators to help tone down this exhaust sooner or later.

Very nice!! Congrats!! May I ask when you placed your order? Mine was supposed to be done end of April but it got pushed back a couple weeks. I believe I ordered it late December or early January.

Lol nice and congrats! Wish you had the exhaust on before the headers, so I could hear the difference between the Ti and SS! Need sound clips of it ASAP! Do you feel the difference between the stock and the Meisterschaft exhaust? Oh did you dyno with the stock and headers?

I ordered the axel-back part in October 15 then added the Catback LSR Pipe around Nov 2015. Initial build time was 8-10 weeks but it got pushed week after week. Then, it finally arrived around April 2016.

Oh yea! I know, right? But they delayed it so much. Maybe when I meetup with Rmsimmonsjr I'll ask him to help me video capture it. Damn! the difference is so much. lol! I wanted to dyno it but the dyno place that I go to has conflicting schedules so, I was just gonna dyno it with the whole setup.

Infrared, FTW! What's your wheel preference for this car and color?

There's a chance that I might have modified the super loudness of this exhaust because I might get pulled over along the way... That's how crazy loud it is... lol!

I'm changing the MidPipe with Apexi Resonated Midpipe and see if they go together. I'm posting a quick video of the current setup. I just need to upload a real Cold Start clip.


Warm Start 4 secs (Cold Start in another video)
Close Valve Rev 13 and 19 secs
Open Valve Idle 34 Secs
Open Valve Rev 41 secs
Open Valve Short Run 56 secs
Close Valve Short Run 1min 8 secs
