Corksport Closed?

I went to their website this morning and it said it was "Closed for Maintenance".
Anyone know whats going on? It is an odd time to close a store.

I just went to their site and it is up. I bet it was just site maintenance. FWIW I have been to their shop quite a few times over the last 6 months and participated in their focus group. They are developing a lot parts that should be or will be released soon.

For the 8 it was their new racepipes. I have their dual res midpipe (and exhaust). I bought the one they did R&D on and at the time was the only one in existence but that was Sept. They are also producing a single res and a single res with cat.

They are really good guys with awesome customer service

Not sure about the dual res. I believe they told me it will be early 2010 but that was a couple of months ago so that could have changed. The 2 versions of the single res are available. The last time I was there I saw the single with cat.

Were you wanting the single or dual? FWIW they said the single was a few DBs louder and I got the impression they liked the single more.

They've had all of them up on the site so I thought they already had them ready.

I plan to get the single.
pdxhak how does the dual res sound? how much louder then the stock cat?

At idle not that noticeable. But it is definitely louder at WOT. It has a deeper tone. I have a Racing Beat Intake and Corksport exhaust as well so it all adds to it.

I agree. I'm surprised more here do not use them.
