I had the dual res that they used for R&D. They ran it for a couple of months and then I beat on it on the street Not sure if they ever put it into production. I blew out one of the resonators and gave it back to them so they could investigate the problem. After looking it over they said they changed how the welds would be done so future owners would not have the issue

After I bought the BHR mid w/CAT, Corksport called me saying the new dual res is ready if I wanted it. Since I had the BHR I told them no.

Did you see they are working on a new single exhaust? It is supposed to be 3". They used Aipex8's car for measurements and testing fitment.

The dual res paired up with their dual exhaust sounded great. Had a nice tone. Lots of flames!

The TurboXS mid and exhaust are known to be loud. I think you will be happy with swapping it out.

FML lost my phone last night while washing my car. Stuck it on the back of dads truck. Went inside to pee, when I came out they were driving away...moments later...wheres my phone? FUUUUU.

I swear I walked 10-15miles up and down the street looking, combing through bushes, calling it. Suspended/unsuspended (when trying to call and listen for it to ring) a few times. Shortly around 10pm the phone died as it went straight to voice mail. At 9pm last night there was no outgoing calls that day and last data transfer was when I was driving home when I called ATT for help. Rings to voice mail so I figure someone didnt have it and it was in a bush or under a car. Those who have been over to my place know theres a few turns, bumps and such so it couldnt have stayed on very long. Spent all morning changing passwords and some account information across the board. ATT would require a warrant to manually use its cell towers to find my phone. Apple said sorry, go **** yourself; when I tried calling them. Tried using family map and any other option.

If someones inside with ATT and can do some backdoor searching for my phone that would be awesome and you will be rewarded

If you dont have the Iphone recovery or lost GPS feature you should prob get it...I didnt. Shame on me. Well today when I get a new phone im adding that for sure

I don't know about AT&T, but apple can remotely brick the phone, as long as it's registered to your iTunes account

This section has been fairly quiet over the Summer. A couple of people sold their 8s and then there are several of us that are much busier this year than in the past.
