Message	....a good move! As no newcomer to exhaust systems, I know everything on the Z32 engine/chassis is not without some compromise: performance, fitment, price, reliability, ride comfort...and serviceability. I appreciate that for those of us who are exploring new, innovative ideas every day, that we can build upon each other's work as the TT evolves to become an even better machine.
