^^^ Well that's a good thing I guess..
Unfortunately, there is always a risk when making a quality product.
(Over 7 years now)
Some recent companies see your product, copy / mimic all the hard work you've done, then make a few changes, move manufacturing to a LOW COST country and finally knock the price in half..
Now I'm not going to comment on what exact events took place here, but..
Titled mufflers have been a signature of ours for a very long time now..!!
Either way, it is what it is..
Hopefully these systems can take the hard abuse they will get put through..
We have race, track & street proven examples already surpassing the 100k+ miles of usage mark.
Happy Holidays

Damn not a through bumper design. If they could somehow integrate the variable mufflers with a through bumper design they essentially nailed the ideal exhaust everyone seems to want.

X force in Australia sent this to me, sorry for the poor quality, its all they have on file at moment. This is the standard system not the Varex.

Did your Australian Xforce rep. tell you about the exhaust system availability for purchase in the USA? I'm waiting on a response for this question right now.

The Joe Z still sounds better (only based off that one video from the mod)

It says right under the picture of the exhaust "Image is a representation of this item. Actual item may vary." If you watch the video, it looks nothing like what is shown on summits site.
But still very tempting for the price with free shipping, but the *****ty part is since they're located in Nevada they also have to charge me sales tax.

This might be like the front lip that everybody got (me including) for $150 that had a great fit and couldn't pass up because of the price!
