I had a question into them earlier this week. This was the response I received.

Thank you for your interest in our Musa exhaust for your Lexus RCF. This unit is a new product release and we are taking pre-orders for this system. This unit is scheduled to arrive at the end of August at our Bensenville Illinois facility and to be shipped according to order date.

So it's $5000+ for a koreon made eisenmann knockoffs?
I just went through a whole bunch of threads about how meistershaft ripped off alot of people. I'm seriously considering cancelling my order.

Same here, they completely changed their image and is a very successful company now.

The research and design takes place here in the US and then the product is sent back and forth from Korea to the US for adjustments and the final design of the product is created in Korea. I believe Rob from GTHaus told me that they spent over $40K on R&D for the RC F exhaust system.

Its made in Korea? Interesting, I heard another Korean company ARK is working on an RC-F exhaust. Loved their work on the exhaust my genesis coupe had and we just put one on my wife's IS350.

They made some great stuff for the S2000 as well. Interested to see what they bring to the table.

I sent Mike an email this morning inquiring about their RC-F work. Haven't heard back though.

Please keep us in the loop if ARK says anything about it to you.
