Welds look GOOD.. Especially for a "hand crafted" product


What I never understood is how their Merge collector is permanently attached ???


The CNC'd manifold flange for the exhaust hook up, is a nice touch

When are you going to get these things mounted? What exhaust are you going to run with them? Curious to see dyno numbers with these things on!

I wondered the same thing, instructions are in Japanese. Maybe I'll post them a little later.

I'll be having a fabrication shop make my catback. As for the install, if I had a lift I would do it myself, but as of right now I do not have the money for the install. I'm currently in the middle of wedding planning.

No offense cause I understand the whole wedding planning cost but how did u have $5000 to buy them but not an extra $700-800 for an install? My PPE were $650 to have Lexus install them and I'm sure installing all headers are same price seeing as it's just labor. I could be wrong though, maybe Novel require some sort of special install.

The install price is the same as others. The wedding guest count is going up and there are a few other unexpected expenses. At this time I'm concentrating my money on what's more important. Originally I was going to install them when they came in, but besides the wedding, I realize my smog is due next April. I might just say screw it and slap them in after the wedding and deal with it when the time comes. I just don't want to spend 800 to install them, then 800 to take them off, and then 800 to put them back on.
