Yeup.. Discontinued due to many different styles of driving...

Confirmed that melt on the track conditions.

Confirmed that they last long, as show pieces and normal street driving..

and too many other variables to follow..


We stopped years ago.. Sorry

Probably not a good idea to get the SRT intake, IIRC some people had problems with it. The best intake mod is just replacing the stock pipe with a Joe Z or silicone pipe, and replacing the stock filter with a Tom's or aFe filter. That way you still retain the secondary intake opening. That's speaking from a power gain perspective. If you really want a cone style air intake or don't mind a little loss in power over looks, get the Injen or K&N intake system. For the best of both worlds Takeda is the way to go, it retains the secondary intake opening and it has the cone intake filter.

Also, if you're still thinking about it, get the Joe Z exhaust. You won't regret it.

Back on topic, I have had glossified Plastidip exhaust tips for over a year now and they still look great. It's very durable and very cheap to do. Although I do agree that powder coated gloss black tips is a better look, and perhaps you can look into hydrodipping the tips with carbon fiber film if that's the look you're going for. I heard it is resistant to heat damage.
Oh wow I already ordered it should be here Monday or Tuesday my cousin had one and he never had a problem with it he did gain 20hp too that's why I ordered lets see how it goes .
