Disagree. Novel setup sounds like nothing out there. I have a muffler delete and IMO I wish it sounded like the high pitched Novel setup.

Remove the 2nd cats and post back. I've gotten compliments that it doesn't sound like anything else. I dont know about high pitched, but def sounds more throaty without 2nd cats. Yes, the Novel setup sounds like nothing else but also costs over $10k

I think I recall someone saying it has to do with the fact the runners are all equal length. I could be wrong though.

Stick with a Joe Z exhaust and either Sikky or PPE headers for the third of the cost.

Just guessing but comparing these headers with some other "f1" headers, it could be its serpentine shape. They look similar to the e92 M3 headers which can also make the f1 sound with the right exhaust.

If they do plan on selling this system for that much money, maybe someone in the states could design a similar set of headers/valvetronic exhaust system for less.

From what I remember reading these wont fit our ISFs as is.

Equal length primaries and the mufflers specific material/ length. Mostly the eq ual length headers though

Imagine those headers with a straight pipe exhaust.. that would be sickening!
