Well, finally got the goods from GT haus. Took 4 months!
Got the stainless x pipe and titanium cat back.
I did that to save some money but now wishing I had just got everything Ti. Oh well.
The build quality is superb and fitment was spot on.
The system is very loud though, like many have stated before, even in the closed mode imo.
I'm sure I will love it on the track but on local streets, it is a bit obnoxious.
Plus phone calls over blue tooth in the car now not so great for the peeps on other end...
The installer tucked the receiver for the valves on top of the sub amplifier in the trunk. Pulled the power feed from it as well. Figured this way if anything went wrong like a blown fuse, I would only be without music. Let's hope that's a correct assumption.
Some pics for yalls enjoyment. ( anyone know why when I upload sometimes the pics end up sideways?? So annoying. Then if you view them, it looks all stretched. What the?)
Ron, you must have waaaaaay more patience than I.
Was about to pull the plug on this whole deal because communication from GT haus was so poor. Guess it all worked out.
Wish I could hear your car in person since you got both Ti pieces and see what the difference is. Wa is a tad too far from Ga...
Happy holidays bro.
Oh, what ever happen with your skipper kit? You order a new one? What's eta?

thanks!
Jury still out on the meister...
Think I loss some bottom end torque which is noticeable with street driving.
Will find out more in a few weeks when I go to hpde at barber motor sports park.

yeah, me too. I might try re installing the stock mid section to see if will feel any difference. But I've also noticed that it's gaining the loss back after a while. That or I'm starting to get used to it.
Got a small upgrade for the front brakes. Stop-tech stainless lines.
Hope the SRF will be worth the money. The Wilwood fluid I'm running now is pretty decent.
Going to track next weekend. Will see if any noticeable difference.
Will also be first time to really push the car after exhaust installed.
Hoping to feel the mid to high end hp gain. Will see...

Awesome color on the calipers man. i like that contrast of the polished look on the front. matches those rotor hats. very nice. Im having such a hard time choosing caliper colors at the moment.

Thanks man!
Yeah I thought about the caliper color a long time. Was gonna match it to the candy red rim color, but then was thinking it was too much red. Went with silver/polish to get the high tech look.
I know you're looking for orange calipers. Don't think the orange caliper & your car's orange is the same. Fwiw.
My original vision for my calipers were to polish them to like a chrome finish. That turned out way harder than I anticipated. Didn't have the patience to do it. You seem to have patience & resource, May be you could pull that off? Would look tight behind those dark TE's.

you're correct. the orange only car is pearl and the orange on the oem calipers are not. so in the sunlight, it does not match well. it looks ok but I'm thinking of a diff color. I'm thinking of gold like this but its very hard to source the right people to do it.

gold would be nasty on a molten car!! Make it happen man !
Just FYI do not put plating on too thick.
The thickness of the material will effect how the cross-connecting bolts "seat".
When I powdered coated the silver on mine, I had issues. Had to go back & grind of small amount around where those bolts seat down.
Plus if you plate the entire caliper front & back, there may be issues with the piston or boots fitting.
well a little brown van brought more goodies today!
Thank you RYLITT for the lead on WOW trim.
Picked out a few pieces to trick out the cabin a bit. They make a bunch of pieces but i only picked certain ones I thought wouldn't be too obvious that they are stick on.
Was wanting the BP auto custom carbon fiber center console, but its $1200 large. Not sure if I want to get that invested in a console...
These trim pieces are very affordable so definitely worth the money, either short term or long term. Plus easily removable if I change my mind.
Few pics installed:
2 trim pieces right & left of screen
2 pieces right & left of clock
console is one big piece
The air bag logo (I'm hoping the CF pattern/color will match my DCTM wheel that's coming soon)
