Hello, I am the owner of the Stinger Tubi-Style developed the exhaust for. I've negotiated discounted forum prices with Tubi-Style that I would like to share with you:

Exhaust with electric valve control & remote: 2.200 EUR (usual price) / 1.900 EUR (forum price)
Central: 600 EUR (usual price) / 520 EUR (forum price)
Cat replace: 800 EUR (usual price) / 700 EUR (forum price)

Ceramic tail black: 400 EUR (usual price) / 350 EUR (forum price)
Polish tail: 300 EUR (usual price) / 260 EUR (forum price)

Prices again exclude VAT (taxes).

Thank you Andy for getting the price down for the forum. How do people take advantage of the forum discount? I am asking for others. Still too pricey for me. Thx!

Thats great thank you. But that is still in the very very expensive territory, and not even in remote consideration without some decent and thorough videos of the sound. We got exhausts that are a 3rd the price or less with a dozen videos. Seems odd to make something so expensive and have such little information about how it sounds out there.

Agreed. I think since the exhaust was developed not long ago and @AndyGT is so far the only one with it, the only available test sample will be his car. However I'm not sure why Tubi didn't make a video with all the exhaust options fitted on the Stinger while they had the vehicle there.

Or even a video of the car driving by...I don't really think the videos that people post of the cars reving while parked are a good example of how it sounds while driving.

...and the sound INSIDE the cabin......

Most important and most overlooked. I agree 100%.

Excuse my ignorance perhaps on my question (Hopefully it hasn't been answered back a few pages) I inquired about a cat back exhaust with a supplier and fitter and he told me it was normal to remove the cats before the install. I know what the cats are therefore and its considered illegal but is it part of the "Normal" process? I was told it gave better airflow and makes a marked improvement to the sound. Any thoughts and suggestions ?

I don't know of any exhausts currently on the market that delete the cats. Most come with mid-pipe and axelback. The mid-pipe bolts directly to the cats so there's no need to remove them.

If you want the most free flowing exhaust possible then removing the cats is something you should consider.

No catalytic converters = ecological agressor = lawless**

No catalytic converters = ecological agressor = lowless

Thank you, that was the concern.

I really liked that Xforce exhaust.
Lets see if something better is out before that comes out? Never know...

A tax a lot of countries in Europe use.

Make that 'a lot of tax' a lot of countries in Europe use!

 

[Robert O'Dwyer]

Just curious, what would be the effect of cutting out the flattened portion where the exhaust is restricted on the stock exhaust and just replacing that portion with 2.5" exhaust tubing

 

[Duce_13]

Tork motorsports did it during there initial tuning and it set off the CEL. Also put car in limp mode.

 

[Robert O'Dwyer]

If that's the case wouldn't all after market exhausts also set off the CEL

Really? That's strange. Link?
