Lots of hard work goes into hand crafting our pts exhaust systems. They are naturally of high quality & craftsmanship. But most of all they take much pride in their work & welds..

Also, all of our components are bespoke.. From the laser cut flanges to the hand made resonators to the specially designed mufflers.. They are not off the shelf parts or using "xyz" mufflers. They are specially made for our application. Same goes for our other systems as well. Like our popular rc f exhaust.

we also note that our systems are 100% usa made with the same qualities you might find on some high end jdm exhausts..

Our system comes bolt on ready for both lhd & rhd is f models globally.
Built to last in all applications & weather conditions since its true 304 ss throughout..

Below is a clean stock photo for comparison..

Pts exhaust for is f







^^ lets be honest.. The resemblance is uncanny.. The mid pipe hanger is in the same flipped format that no one else has done. And when installed the mufflers are titled just like ours.. I do see a few changes.

I'm not going to make any accusations like "isf4life" did.. But i will mention we have shipped many pallets of our exhausts to australia.. So the idea is not to far fetched..

Happy modding everyone..!!

The mufflers are right against the fake tips does anyone know if those tips are prone to melting?

Heat melts the plastic around the metal.
Supposedly the rear bumper is ducted to prevent exactly this scenario from the OEM exhaust

Still waiting to hear back from a European supplied for a price with the Varex mufflers.

Has anyone with the regular x force mufflers managed to make a video clip yet?

I did consider the Greddy ti for awhile, but wanted hi flow cats in my system. Much more effective to reduce unsprung rotating mass w/18's & 2 piece rotors.
