Default Thoughts on Element 114 exhaust?

How's it going everyone? I was just wondering if anyone owns or has heard anything about the exhaust from this company? If yes, how about a review? My gf drives an Infiniti M45 (please no negative M45 vs GS430 comments) & I was browsing an Infiniti msg board. Element 114 just signed as a sponsor & said they're near cat-back's about to come out. I went on their website & the only other application I see they make an exhaust is for the GS430. Curious b/c I've never heard of this company & I don't want to get a bad product. Thx for everyone's time.

Talking Element114 Exhaust

I was just @ their shop last week to get their bodykit for my 06 gs430. Pics to follow soon. They just got the GS exhaust back from dyno test. Impressive hp gain Listened to the exhaust, deep throaty @ low rpm. Only a little louder than stock.

Default not a quad exhaust

Sorry guys, I wish it was a quad tip exhaust also I mentioned it to them, but maybe they need more encouragement. Would also need a different rear bumper trim to fit.

I'm going to their shop to check out the exhaust for my GS430 on Monday. I'll post a report when I get back.

Saw and heard the Element114 exhaust at their shop. They had it installed on their GS 430. Real nice exhuast! They were out of stock so I couldn't get one while is was there, but put in a order for one. They said it would be done in about a week or two. It has a nice deep sound that isn't too loud, which is perfect for this car. I definitely don't want something too loud. What sold me is that they specialize only in Lexus and Infiniti cars and they make everything here in the US. I asked about a quad tip version, but they are only making a round and oval tip.

interesting...I personally think it's a lil too quiet but I guess it's fine for a GS type of car. The one on the M45 sounded real nice!~!

Sorry I forgot the pricing info earlier. They told me the retail is $995, but until they complete setting up their distribution network they are offering a $795 promo price. I only left a $50 deposit so far.
