PART DESIGN
CATBACK:
In-house designed and engineered using FARO ARM laser scanning technology for precise fitment
3.0" T304 Stainless Steel Mandrel Bent, Brushed Tubing with 1.25mm wall thickness
Dual 2.5" Tailpipe Sections with Tig-Welded Merge Pipe and Laser-Cut ECS Logo Plate
T304 Stainless Steel 12mm barbed round stock exhaust hangers Tig-Welded in OE locations for precise fitment (Note: RR exhaust hanger will need rotated 180 degrees)
Strategically placed slip joints provide the most adjustability to obtain perfect fitment
VALVED MUFFLER:
Tested multiple muffler designs to achieve the most desirable exhaust notes with the largest delta between valve closed and valve open driving experiences
Valve Closed Routing - 3-chamber perforated reduction tubes with stainless steel wool packing material provides a sporty driving experience without causing excessive resonance, volume and performance loss
Valve Open Routing - Straight-through 3.0" perforated tube with stainless steel wool packing material provides the most unobstructed flow path for race-inspired driving experience to maximize volume
Vacuum-actuated exhaust valve provides outstanding reliability in the harshest conditions. Unlike electronic servo motors that are prone to failure, our exhaust valves have been tested in thousands of applications and have proven to be reliable.
NON-VALVED MUFFLER:
In-House designed to provide a sporty driving experience like no other
Perforated core with stainless steel wool packing for sound absorption
Straight Through "Turbo Style" Muffler
?Designed to maximize ground clearance while still being compatible with aftermarket components such as our ECS Tuning Rear Subframe Brace.
DOWNPIPE (optional):
In-house designed and engineered using FARO ARM laser scanning technology for precise fitment
3.0" T304 stainless steel CNC-mandrel bent tubing with 1.5mm wall thickness
10mm thick CNC laser-cut turbine flange prevents heat-warping and is precision ground for optimum gasket sealing capacity
Stainless steel bellow flex section designed to provide a wide range of engine movement and heat expansion
200 Cell high flow metallic catalytic converter
100% Tig-welded at each joint
T304 stainless steel mounting bracket with Tig-welded barbed hangers locate our downpipe to the OEM mounting bracket
Stainless steel oxygen sensor bungs are welded in OE-locations so no extension harness is required.
NOTE: CCTA engines will need to plug the extra O2 bung (CBFA-specific) with the included O2 plug and sealing washer
