NEW RPi GTS Exhaust

We are playing with a new design here. The GTS series exhaust is a combination of the GT exhaust with the ST tips (square factory style tips). This will be a VERY limited production run and there will ONLY be 50 units available. Each unit will be numbered.

Price is $799

GT exhaust may be replaced by the GTS system. If this happens, the GT will be no more.

Any chance you will make the stock tips separate?

Don't blame me, I haven't heard it yet, or even a description of how it's different. What's the difference when you change the magic GT tips Eloy?

I will be interested in how the GTS sounds. Maybe when I drive up for my planned LIMITED EDITION GT ANNIVERSARY exhaust installation, you will have the GTS installed on a vehicle and available for me to hear!

Yes, the tips will change but same exhaust. The current tips are quite costly.

I am also working on a DIY trunk kit for you guys. Its in the works and will probably be released in 1-2 months.

That sounds great, I know it's not near out yet, but how about an estimated cost for us? (send me a text and I won't tell anyone! )

special 10th Anniversary Pricing for these DP's as well?

Eloy,
I got the exhaust and installed it the same day. Love the sound! Just enough to know it's there but not obnoxiously loud.

I know it may be asking toooo much... but... you know your 10th Anniversary pricing was a discount of 38% off of the GT exhaust... yep, you know what's coming next... How about a similiar discount on these two downpipes? Or at least the most expensive 'Green' one?

What is the price normally on the DP with Cat? I don't race my Redline but want to have a sense of performance while still trying to be 'Green'.

Once again, Thanks for the special 10th Anniversary Pricing! It is what pushed me over the edge to get your exhaust, which was my preference anyway, over the cheaper Magnaflow.
Thanks!
Skip

I'd love a set. Can I get on a list?

I missed the last deal. Must login more often.

Okay, as you know, I am planning on having your trunk installed. Can I get an idea on what the difference is from the DIY version, besides the obvious that you are doing the install? You can PM me if you prefer it not be advertised.

Now that's funny... I bought an exhaust from Eloy, what Eloy, at least 18 months ago? Finally got it installed today! New intercooler too. Sounds a little angrier, but not bad.

The tips look awesome! Much nicer than the factory square ones.

The DIY will be do at your own risk. Or do you want the person who invented it to do the install? hehe.

Its about time buddy! lol.. Yes the factory tips are pretty cheap.

If you guys want the GTS limited edition exhaust, we should start a list. Its going to be a limited production run of only 25 units.

I want your exhaust because it CLEARLY is going to have the best flow rates because of the design of the pipes and straight mufflers. But, I like the tips from the Magnaflow catback best....any idea on whether I can just buy the Magnaflow tips and fit them to your new GTS style exhaust???

Thank you for the quick answer!

The tips you have on the new GTS exhaust, are they the stock OEM Saturn Sky tips? Are they close replicas? OR, are they just similar? Any photos of what they look like on a car? Thanks.
