I didn't think I would like it but I was wrong... i LOVE them!

 

 

The fabspeed exhaust looks amazing! I just added it to my 06 Murcie and it sounds like a fighter jet..

Michael, looks great. It is a nice addition to the back for sure.

 

 

David, maybe if you would do a group buy just at that sub-$1k price point for x number of pre-purchases, it would grab attention and get the ball rolling. I'd definitely be interested in a set at that price point. I really like them--just not enough to pay $1300-1400 for them. I'm not saying they aren't worth that....just that I like them, but not so much that in MY mind I justify the cost.

It's like anything else though.

Anyways, maybe that would get a chunk of them off the shelf and stir a little demand.

Out of curiosity, one fellow on another board had some kind of fitment issue and was unable to get them to work with his current exhaust. Did you guys get that resolved or figure out the issue? The reason I ask is because I too have aftermarket exhaust and wonder it it may cause fitment issues also from the slightly different lengths/locations compared to stock...

You guys want a group buy? OK! Give me a few minutes to type it up :eusa_dance: I just picked up our gallardo to bring to the shop, once it cools down I will pull the tips off and install the "non fitting" tips to see if there really was an issue. On some exhausts minor modifications need to be done (nothing that will hinder performance) for example, on the stock exhaust the section at the end of the pipe that is held on with an accuseal clamp needs to be removed for the tips to fit.

I can't speak for everyone obviously, but I'd certainly be interested in doing it...maybe some of the members of another board would as well.

Regarding the fitment, I wasn't wondering in regards to how you guys designed them and if that was right as I've heard all good things about quality from your company...more so was worried that different tolerances and position(s) of aftermarket exhaust causing problems. I just know some areas there is plenty of wiggle room for things like that to be off, and others are an exact fit (just on cars in general). To be more specific, I have Tubi exhaust currently on my car with the stock tips.

On your Tubi, the flared section at the end would need to be removed. As far as the fitment that was brough up on lambo-talk, it was either a packaging or shipping issue. The tab on the top left of the driver side was tapped 1/16 of an inch back. Once I tapped the tab back into place it fit perfectly! I attached pictures of the tip (with the tab that was bent circled), the customers returned tip on our car and the CF shroud installed on our car.

 

tip that has the tab that needed adjustment:

also, as far as the Group Buy, how does $995 sound for the tips?

I'd be on board for a set at that price.

The flared section that you're saying has to be removed on the Tubi, that area is welded on, correct? Sounds like I would need to remove the rear bumper cover and actually cut off this part? If so, that certainly raises the install time lol. Am I understanding you correctly?

Does the price include the c/f surrounds and everything you need to install them? And would matte black tips be the same price?

i know the cf surround part is included. it comes with everything you need. i can't answer about the matte tho as i like the polished, so i never inquired...i need something to break up all the black on my car lol...

The bumper should not need to be removed, however if you feel so inclined I it is very easy to take off. The tips with the final bend in the exhaust should come off pretty easily though to modify with minimal work.

if I needed to powder coat/ceramic coat the tips it would be an additional $150 and would look like these porsche tips I did for a customer:

 

 

(on the left obviously, the rights are a very nice gumetal)
