Default Novel!!!

While most people say "this price is crazy". I agree but if I had it like that this exhaust system would make its way onto my wife's car. It give a very different sound to what we are use to from the exhausts available here in the states. I love the ISS exhaust that we currently have but man this thing just sounds amazing!

What are your thoughts?

One of the most ridiculous exhausts I've heard on ANY car....although I did a currency conversion after seeing the exhaust price on their website.

Yen to dollars:

¥798,000 = $10,000

Don't like the high pitched raspy sound at all. It reminds me of a meisterschaft exhaust system but not nearly as cool sounding. The Joe-Z sounds better and is probably half the money. I'm guessing those are the "equal length" headers? I wonder if they have any gains over sikky/PPE but i'm guessing no.

It is pricy but I love how you can alter the exhaust note by a push of a button, wish more companies offered this.

Yes thats what their saying. Hopefully they'll release some numbers soon. We have the PPE's getting ready to go on the car!

I agree with the both of you. The price on this header back is roughly $16,800. Which is crazy but the sound is just down right amazing. Regardless of the price and the fact of "will anyone buy this" you gotta give these guys credits.

Yeah vids on the Novel Exhaust have been posted before but I have never heard it rev that high, and man does it sound like a V10....just amazing. Most I would pay for it would be like $3k though.

Love the sound of that exhaust. Was just listening to all the videos of it this weekend on my stereo. If only it wasn't so expensive.

For $16K I wouldn't buy it even if it added another 100hp at the wheels. I mean c'mon... why are they even charging that much? They must have only made a couple of units and figure someone with more money then sense will pick one up.

Too high pitched and raspy for my liking. The V8 deserves a deeper tone.
