B/C I don't like highjacking threads that are talking about another subject. That thread obviously now is talking about power on the dyno and it's a good one. So why step in with a question like this?
Thanks,

I really want to see this exhaust pics on a car. I'm debating on the Greddy SP2 or this Turbo XS but I need to decide which looks better in the rear.
Thank you!!

Nathan i sent the pics. To everyone who looks at them my car is really dirty...i just cleaned up the tips and wiped away some stuff from the plastic around it. There seemed like a little buildup of stuff(idk what to call it) around and near the tips for the first few days and i assume it was burning of gas and some other things...anyway the car is going into the body shop on the 12th and then it'll be cleaned so ill get you some more pics then

We've run the exhaust system as is on our car in Aus for a few months (cat-less) and not had any plastic melting. That's not to say it couldn't happen if someone were to spend a good deal of time banging off the rev-limiter or tuning their Emanage to split flames, but we've got enough miles on this system to not be concerned. If the tips were single walled I might agree with you. However the double wall tip creates a nice insulating space and prevents the outer section of the tip from getting too hot. In any case we will obviously keep an eye on things and make changes if needed. When we go to general release of a product like this there are always new things that we learn by putting it in the hands of hundreds of customers vs. running it only on our cars.
With that said, I am not really familiar with the aftermarket bumpers available on the market, and I can’t say how well or how poorly this would work with them.

My concern is that I have the INGS rear flares, not the oem. Its fiberglass, plus I have turbo, so I'm pretty sure I'd melt something quick. This is an example of what I mean. I don't think it would work well with anything other than the oem bumpers, but then again I don't know. I don't want to be the one to experiment either.

ok, I didn't catch that the tips were double wall, so I'll concede to your experience
I still think it will look better with the tips projected out further though cosmetics aren't usually my personal forte, but the majority of US enthusiasts are generally all about showboating
